The Uncollected Stories of Mavis Gallant
The Uncollected Stories of Mavis Gallant | Mavis Gallant
1 post | 4 to read
A collection of over thirty short stories by one of the greatest fiction writers in American history, now available in a single volume for the first time ever. Mavis Gallants extraordinary mastery of the short story remains insufficiently recognized. She may be the best writer of stories since the early-1950s prime of John Cheever, Eudora Welty, and Flannery OConnor, and even in such august company, her work is sui generis. Gallants short fiction refines the art of the story even as it expands the boundaries of what a story can be. Above and beyond that, however, it constitutes a striking, almost avant-garde reduction. To read her is to discover something about the very nature of story: how for better or worse life is caught up in it, and how on the page that common predicament can come to life. The Uncollected Stories of Mavis Gallant includes more than thirty stories never before gathered into one volume, including The Accident and His Mother and An Autobiography and De?de?. With the publication of this book, finally all of this modern masters fiction will be in print.

I had to take this collection back to the library before I got through it, but I read enough of these stories to know that I must read more Mavis Gallant short stories! I can‘t believe I haven‘t before now. They are brilliant.
