The Gentle Insurrection and Other Stories
by Doris Betts
The stories in this extraordinary first collection are concerned with some of the most private and complicated issues: living and dying, growing old, questioning one's beliefs, and recognizing one's own failings. Whether it is an old man struggling to come to terms with an incident in his past or a meddling spinster who is forced to recognize the subtle dance of resentment, in each of these stories a "gentle insurrection" occurs that changes lives forever.
The Collected Stories
by Grace Paley
At long last, here are all of Grace Paley's classic stories collected in one volume. From her first book, The Little Disturbances of Man, published in 1959, to Enormous Changes at the Last Minute (1974) and Later the Same Day (1985), Grace Paley's quirky, boisterous characters and rich use of language have won her readers' hearts and secured her place as one of America's most accomplished writers. Grace Paley's stories are united by her signature interweaving of personal and political truths, by her extraordinary capacity for empathy, and by her pointed, funny depiction a the small and large events that make up city life. As her work progresses, we encounter many of the same characters and revisit the same sites, bearing witness to a community as it develops and matures, becoming part ourselves of a dense and vital world that is singular yet achingly familiar.
The Complete Stories
by Bernard Malamud
Brings together all of the late author's short fiction from the past four decades--fifty-three stories in all--ranging from his early work, taken from the National Book Award-winning The Magic Barrel, to his latest.
Everything That Rises Must Converge
by Flannery O'Connor
Probing questions of race, belief, good, and evil, the stories in this collection encompass the comic and the tragic, the beautiful and the grotesque. Each one carries Flannery O'Connor's highly individual stamp, and could have been written by no one else.

The Last Lovely City : Stories
Adams, Alice
New York, NY, U.S.A.: Alfred A. Knopf Incorporated, 1999. Solid binding with nice text. Jacket with just lt. soil. From Publishers Weekly: Accomplished novelist (Medicine Men) and short storyteller Adams (After You've Gone) exhibits in her latest collection a cast of proudly aging characters whose lives are linked more or less by their attachment to San Francisco. Love has played havoc on these successful professionals and performers, either in or outside of marriage, but they wouldn't dream of giving up. "I think we should try again," remarks the chronically wayward wife in the opening story, "His Women," a remark that could serve as the collection's leitmotiv. Carter, the story's bland academic protagonist, recognizes vaguely that he is "the sort of man to whom women are unfaithful," yet he finds himself agreeing to let the same trouble back into his life. Wandering in and out of sexually satisfying love affairs, the characters are soon baffled to see their relationships peter out. In "The Haunted Beach," a woman ends up at the same beach resort in Mexico that she frequented with her former husband, hoping, fully consciously, that the memories there will ignite her new love. The best writing occurs in the title narrative, an elegiac musing on lost love by the "sadhearted widower," Dr. Benito Zamora, who meets a woman who was his lover 40 years before: "Her voice was like scented oil... light and insidious and finally dirty, making stains." The collection loses some momentum with the rather corny tales of devoted pet owners, then regains it in the last four of these 13 stories, a seamlessly interrelated series involving an adulterous pair of psychiatrists and their troubled spouses. Adams's relentlessly present tense prose can become somewhat mannered; yet the reader is always edified by the startlingly perspicacious or willfully self-deluded observations of her characters, who will find love again at all cost. .
