Summary:
"Including twenty-eight works of short fiction in all, Shirley Hazzard's
Collected
Stories
is a work of staggering breadth and talent. Taken together, Hazzard's short
stories
are masterworks in telescoping focus, 'at once surgical and symphonic' (The New Yorker), ranging from quotidian struggles between beauty and pragmatism to satirical sendups of international bureaucracy, from the Italian countryside to suburban Connecticut."--Publisher.
