  • The Uncollected Stories of Mavis Gallant
    The Uncollected Stories of Mavis Gallant
    Gallant, Mavis / Hallberg, Garth Risk / Hallberg, Garth Risk
    Mavis Gallant’s extraordinary mastery of the short story remains insufficiently recognized. She may be the best writer of stories since the early-1950s prime of John Cheever, Eudora Welty, and Flannery O’Connor, and even in such august company, her work is sui generis. Gallant’s short fiction refines the art of the story even as it expands the boundaries of what a story can be....
