This generous collection of fifty-two stories selected from across
her prolific career by the author, is preceded by a preface in
which she discusses the sources of her art. With irony and an
unfailing eye for the telling detail, Gallant weaves stories of
spare complexity, often pushing the boundaries of the form in
boldly unconventional directions. The settings in the COLLECTED
STORIES range from Paris to Berlin to Switzerland, from the Riviera
to the Cote d'Azur, and her characters are almost all exiles of one
sort or another, as she herself was the most of her expatriate
life. The wit and precision of her prose, combined with her
expansive view of humanity, provide a rare and deep reading
pleasure. With breathtaking control and compression, Gallant
delivers a whole life, a whole world, in each story.
