Named to Kirkus Reviews' Best Story Collections of 2015 Featuring
the story adapted into the Academy Award nominated film, 45 YEARS
"I started reading these stories quietly, and then became obsessed,
read them all fast, and started re-reading them again and again.
They are gripping tales, but what is startling is the quality of
the writing. Every sentence is both unpredictable and exactly what
it should be." A.S. Byatt, The Guardian The first American
publication by one of the greatest living fiction masters, In
Another Country spans David Constantine's remarkable thirty-year
career. Known for their pristine emotional clarity, their spare but
intensely evocative dialogue, and their fearless exposures of the
heart in moments of defiance, change, resistance, flight,
isolation, and redemption, these stories demonstrate again and
again Constantine's timeless and enduring appeal. David Constantine
is an award-winning short story writer, poet, and translator. His
collections of poetry include The Pelt of Wasps, Something for the
Ghosts (shortlisted for the Whitbread Poetry Prize), Nine Fathom
Deep, and Elder. He is the author of one novel, Davies, and has
published four collections of short stories in the United Kingdom,
including the winner of the 2013 Frank O'Connor Award, Tea at the
Midland and Other Stories. He lives in Oxford, where, until 2012,
he edited Modern Poetry in Translation with his wife Helen.
