Mavis Gallant Collected Stories by Mavis Gallant
A collection of fifty-two stories of spare complexity, often pushing the boundaries of the form in boldly unconventional directions. It ranges from Paris to Berlin to Switzerland, from the Riviera to the Cote d'Azur, and features characters who are almost all exiles of one sort or another, as the author herself was the most of her expatriate life.
One of the most brilliant story writers in the language* The New Yorker *
Gallant's talent is as versatile and witty as it is somber and empathetic. -- John Updike
Funny, exacting, and stern... Gallant's chronicles of internal and external exile are a fitting tribute to a diasporic century. * The Guardian *
