Synopsis

This collection of fifty-six stories gathers work from Connells entire writing career. Sometimes heartbreaking and often comic, these stories go to the heart of the American character.

Evan S. Connell is one of America's most distinguished prose stylists, and this volume offers a major portion of his lifework. With Mrs. Bridge and Mr. Bridge, Connell stands at the forefront of American novelists. His critically acclaimed Son of the Morning Star, together with The White Lantern and A Long Desire, prove him also among the best nonfiction authors of the past several decades.

A "writer's writer," Connell is a great artist whose influence has changed the way Americans craft fiction today. The Collected Stories of Evan S. Connell gathers fifty-six stories written between 1946 and 1995 and incorporates the contents of Connell's three previous collections. Also included are twenty-eight stories never before published in book form, thirteen of them written in the past five years.
