SELECTED AND INTRODUCED BY TESSA HADLEY
'The irrefutable master of the short story in English' - - Fran Lebowitz
'A terrifyingly good writer' - - Margaret Atwood
The legendary Mavis Gallant's most emotionally acute, penetrating stories
Mavis Gallant's characters are exiled from their homes, disconnected from each other and from themselves. Writing of 1920s Montreal and post-war Paris, she traced large historical arcs within ordinary lives, conjuring entire worldviews with a telling detail or passing comment.
This new volume collects her finest work. Here are stories of young men returning from war to starkly changed families, snobbish social climbers haunted by their downtrodden colleagues, and children on the cusp of understanding their parents' - secrets and infidelities. Complex, moving and painfully true, they secure her position among the world's great writers.
Part of the Pushkin Press Classics series: timeless storytelling by icons of literature, hand-picked from around the globe
Mavis Gallant (1922-2014) was born in Montreal and worked as a journalist before moving to Europe to devote herself to writing fiction. After traveling extensively she settled in Paris, where she lived until her death, though she never renounced her Canadian citizenship. Starting in 1951, the New Yorker published 116 of her stories. She was the recipient of the 2002 Rea Award for the Short Story and the 2004 PEN/Nabokov Award for lifetime achievement.
