Collected Stories includes both volumes of National Book
Award-winning author Shirley Hazzard's short story collections -
Cliffs of Fall and People in Glass Houses - alongside uncollected
works and two previously unpublished stories. Twenty-eight works of
short fiction in all, Shirley Hazzard's Collected Stories is a work
of staggering breadth and talent. Taken together, Hazzard's short
stories are masterworks in telescoping focus, 'at once surgical and
symphonic' (New Yorker), ranging from quotidian struggles between
beauty and pragmatism to satirical sendups of international
bureaucracy, from the Italian countryside to suburban Connecticut.
In an interview, Hazzard once said, 'The idea that somebody has
expressed something, in a supreme way, that it can be expressed;
this is, I think, an enormous feature of literature'. Her stories
themselves are a supreme evocation of writing at its very best:
probing, uncompromising and deeply felt.
