AUTHOR
SUMMARY
"Occasionally, I've seen it argued by reviewers (and heard it said by readers) that Mavis Gallant's stories are chilly, which bewilders me, since I find them so deeply affecting. It is true that her work is cerebral. She places a great deal of faith in her reader's intelligence, a faith that in turn demands and rewards intelligent, close reading....But she's also funny, and her stories are full of satisfying plot reversals and breathtaking passages of dazzlingly precise, virtuosic writing."Gallant, Mavis is the author of 'Paris Stories Library Edition' with ISBN 9781590170229 and ISBN 1590170229.
