Mavis Gallant is the modern master of what Henry James called the
international story, the fine-grained evocation of the quandaries
of people who must make their way in the world without any place to
call their own. The irreducible complexity of the very idea of home
is especially at issue in the stories Gallant has written about
Montreal, where she was born, although she has lived in Paris for
more than half a century.
"Varieties of Exile," Russell Banks's extensive new selection from
Gallant's work, demonstrates anew the remarkable reach of this
writer's singular art. Among its contents are three previously
uncollected stories, as well as the celebrated
semi-autobiographical sequence about Linnet Muir--stories that are
wise, funny, and full of insight into the perils and promise of
growing up and breaking loose.
