The Collected Tales of Nikolai Gogol

Something I'Ve Been Meaning to Tell You
by Alice Munro
In the thirteen stories in her remarkable second collection, Alice Munro demonstrates the precise observation, straightforward prose style, and masterful technique that led no less a critic than John Updike to compare her to Chekhov. The sisters, mothers and daughters, aunts, grandmothers, and friends in these stories shimmer with hope and love, anger and reconciliation, as they contend with their histories and their present, and what they can see of the future.
Ocean of Words
by Ha Jin
Winner of the PEN/Hemingway AwardThe place is the chilly border between Russia and China. The time is the early 1970s when the two giants were poised on the brink of war. And the characters in this thrilling collection of stories are Chinese soldiers who must constantly scrutinize the enemy even as they themselves are watched for signs of the fatal disease of bourgeois liberalism.In Ocean of Words, the Chinese writer Ha Jin explores the predicament of these simple, barely literate men with breathtaking concision and humanity. From amorous telegraphers to a pugnacious militiaman, from an inscrutable Russian prisoner to an effeminate but enthusiastic recruit, Ha Jins characters possess a depth and liveliness that suggest Isaac Babels Cossacks and Tim OBrien's GIs. Ocean of Words is a triumphant volume, poignant, hilarious, and harrowing."A compelling collection of stories, powerful in their unity of theme and rich in their diversity of styles."--New York Times Book Review"Extraordinary...[These stories are} shot through with wit and offer glimpses of human motivation that defy retelling...Read them all."--Boston Globe"An exceptional new talent, capable of wringing rich surprises out of austere materials."--Portland Oregonian

Island
by Alistair MacLeod
The sixteen exquisitely crafted stories contained in Island prove Alistair MacLeod to be a master. Quietly, precisely, he has created a body of work that is among the greatest to appear in English in the last fifty years. A book-besotted patriarch releases his only son from the obligations of the sea. A father provokes his young son to violence when he reluctantly disposes of the family horse. A passionate girl who grows up on a nearly deserted Island turns into an ever-wistful woman when her one true love is felled by a logging accident. A dying young man listens to his grandmother play the old Gaelic songs on her ancient violin as they both fend off the inevitable. The events, whether violent or tender, that propel MacLeod’s stories convince us of the importance of tradition, the beauty of the landscape, and the necessity of memory.
