Call If You Need Me
by William L. Stull
When he died in August of 1988, Raymond Carver had just published what were thought to be his last stories in WHERE I'M CALLING FROM or so it seemed until five unpublished stories were recently discovered. Two of the new stories (found among Carver's papers at the Ohio State University Library) are from the middle period of Carver's writing, the time of CATHEDRAL. The other three stories (found by his wife, Tess Gallagher, in their home in Port Angeles, Washington) are wonderful examples of his style. These newly discovered stories provided the impetus for bringing together all of his uncollected fiction, including some early stories and a fragment of a novel, and nonfiction from NO HEROICS, PLEASE in a revised and expanded edition. The nonfictional prose includes all of the essays, together with occasional commentary on his own fiction and poetry, writings on the American short story, and reviews of contemporaries such as Donald Barthelme. Jim Harrison, Thomas McGuane, and Richard Ford.
In Love & Trouble
by Alice Walker
The desires and fears of the American black woman living in the South are explored with compassion and understanding in an anthology of thirteen short stories by the author of The Color Purple.
Like Life
by Lorrie Moore
In Like Life ’s eight exquisite stories, Lorrie Moore’s characters stumble through their daily existence. These men and women, unsettled and adrift and often frightened, can’t quite understand how they arrived at their present situations. Harry has been reworking a play for years in his apartment near Times Square in New York. Jane is biding her time at a cheese shop in a Midwest mall. Dennis, unhappily divorced, buries himself in self-help books about healthful food and healthy relationships. One prefers to speak on the phone rather than face his friends, another lets the answering machine do all the talking. But whether rejected, afraid to commit, bored, disillusioned or just misunderstood, even the most hard-bitten are not without some abiding trust in love.
The Collected Stories of Katherine Anne Porter
by Katherine Anne Porter
Interpreter of Maladies
by Jhumpa Lahiri
Navigating between the Indian traditions they've inherited and the baffling new world, the characters in Jhumpa Lahiri's elegant, touching stories seek love beyond the barriers of culture and generations. In "A Temporary Matter," published in The New Yorker, a young Indian-American couple faces the heartbreak of a stillborn birth while their Boston neighborhood copes with a nightly blackout. In the title story, an interpreter guides an American family through the India of their ancestors and hears an astonishing confession. Lahiri writes with deft cultural insight reminiscent of Anita Desai and a nuanced depth that recalls Mavis Gallant. She is an important and powerful new voice.
