In stories of astonishing compression and insight, Mavis Gallant wrote of
characters severed from their home, exiles disconnected from each other and from
themselves. Tracing the fault lines of the post-war world in the intimate lives
of her characters, she could conjure an entire worldview in a telling gesture or
passing comment.This new volume, selected and introduced by Tessa Hadley,
collects the finest work from across Gallant's career. Here are stories of young
men returning from wartime internment to changed families, snobbish social
climbers haunted by the words of their downtrodden colleagues, and children
peering through glass at the secrets and infidelities of their parents. Complex,
moving and painfully true, they secure her position among the world's great
short story writers.
