In a career spanning over half a century, Peter Taylor explored in
exquisite detail the dramas, large and small, of a Tennessee gentry
struggling with the loss of the old certainties in an Old South
becoming new. A winner of both the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction and
the Penn/Faulkner Award and a regular contributor to The New
Yorker, he was, in the estimation of Anne Tyler, othe undisputed
master of the short-story form. You could give a creative writing
class with no other text but his stories and that class would come
out fully educated.o Now, for his centennial year, Taylor joins
fellow twentieth-century masters William Faulkner, Eudora Welty,
Flannery O'Connor, and John Updike in the Library of America series
with an unprecedented two-volume edition of his complete short
fiction. Edited by acclaimed writer Ann Beattie, it brings together
for the first time all sixty of the stories that Taylor published
during his professional career as writer, half of them restored to
print for the first time in decades and five never before collected
in book form. (This first volume includes, in an appendix, six
previously uncollected early efforts.) Several of these
works-including oVenus, Cupid, Folly, and Time,o oIn the Miro
District,o and oThe Old Foresto-are anthology classics. All are
masterly contributions to the literature of the South and the art
of the American short story.
