Mavis Gallant Collected Stories

Informationen zum Autor A widely admired master of the short story, Mavis Gallant was a Canadian-born writer who lived in France and died in 2014 at the age of ninety-one. Her more than one hundred stories, most published in The New Yorker over five decades beginning in 1951 have influenced generations of writers and earned her comparisons to Anton Chekhov, Henry James, and George Eliot. She has been hailed by Michael Ondaatje as "one of the great story writers of our time." Klappentext 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.
