"This anthology brings together an international selection of short
stories by distinguished modern writers from five continents
(America, Africa, Asia, Australia and Europe). The fifteen stories
collected here were all written in English within the last fifty
years. Each has something to say about cultural encounters, often
arising from experiences of migration or uprooting. In tone and
mood the stories are as varied as in their geographical settings -
their predominantly realist temper promotes vivid, imaginative
connections between the worlds of fiction and the worlds of its
readers. The book's theme of 'difference' is echoed in the
diversity of writers represented: Nobel Laureates (Nadine Gordimer,
V.S. Naipaul); masters of the short story (Raymond Carver, Mavis
Gallant, William Trevor); and a younger generation of late
twentieth-century writers on their way to establishing
international reputations (Ana Menendez, Zadie Smith). Each story
is introduced by a photographic and biographic portrait of its
author."
