Summary |
Winner of the 1970 Pulitzer Prize for fiction, this collection of thirty stories includes some of Jean Stafford's best short fiction from the period 1944 to 1968. Including such favorites as "In the Zoo," "Children Are Bored on Sunday," and "Beatrice Trueblood's Story," the collection offers the work of this popular writer of the 1940s and 1950s to a new generation of readers and critics. "Impeccably done." "To have built up so distinguished a collection, each story excellent in its own way and each an original departure in relation to the others, is a triumph. " "She writes about people whom loneliness has driven slightly mad, but also about people who are secure and comforted; she explores childhood and old age, poverty and wealth, tragedy and comedy…Above all, Miss Stafford will not be hurried…This book is most solidly achieved." |
