Paris Stories

by Mavis Gallant


Review this book!

Introduced by Michael Ondaatje, this volume of Mavis Gallant's stories is set in Paris, as the title suggests. Gallant's incisive, compact, and insightful stories, which appeared regularly in The New Yorker throughout the last half of the 20th century, have long been championed by critics and by other writers without achieving a wide readership.

Media Reviews

"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."
