The 15 writers featured in this new anthology of French short
stories represent the best of the genre, from Merimee to the
present day. The selection includes writers as diverse as Balzac,
Colette, Duras and Boulanger and is designed to introduce students
to both the modern French short story and modern French literature
in general. The anthology covers a wide range of texts and reflects
the contribution of women writers. Not only is there a substantial
introduction covering the history of the short story, thematic
trends, developments in narrative technique and the notion of
genre, but each story also comes with its own preface and notes.
The editor's intentions are to enhance students' appreciation and
understanding of individual stories at the same time as introducing
a variety of critical ideas and perspectives, many of them
reflecting recent developments in literary theory. -- .
Jokers Ghost was written at the end of an era for the author, in
which he looked again at some of the angels who had bought
stability into his and others lives following mental illness. This
has been written in the hope that fellow sufferers can relate to
and benefit from his words.
