Very Pleasant Evening With Stevie Smith Selected Shorter Prose

A great poet and novelist (Novel on Yellow Paper), Stevie Smith also wrote delightful short prose. And here, in A Very Pleasant Evening with Stevie Smith, is the very best of it: eight stories and four essays mixing throw-away charm and deadly sophistication. Her stories delight and surprise; her essays defend favorite subjects, such as cats and the suburbs. "Life in the suburbs is richer at the lower levels. At these levels people are not self-conscious at all, they are at liberty to be as eccentric as they please, they do not know they are eccentric".Smith, Stevie is the author of 'Very Pleasant Evening With Stevie Smith Selected Shorter Prose', published 1995 under ISBN 9780811212953 and ISBN 0811212955.
