A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

A STUNNING COLLECTION OF SHORT STORIES FROM THE AUTHOR OF IN CERTAIN CIRCLES

This collection of short fiction from Elizabeth Harrower features a number of previously unpublished works, and 'Alice' which was published for the first time in the New Yorker in 2015.

Internationally acclaimed for her five brilliant novels, Elizabeth Harrower is also the author of a small body of short fiction. A FEW DAYS IN THE COUNTRY brings together for the first time her stories published in Australian journals in the 1960s and 1970s, along with those from her archives - including 'Alice', published for the first time earlier this year in the New Yorker.

Essential reading for Harrower fans, these finely turned pieces show a broader range than the novels, ranging from caustic satires to gentler explorations of friendship.

Biographie de l'auteur

Elizabeth Harrower was born in Sydney in 1928. She lived in Newcastle until her family moved back to Sydney when she was 11. In 1951 Harrower travelled to London and began to write. Harrower published The Watch Tower in 1966. Four years later she finished a new novel, In Certain Circles, but withdrew it from publication at the last moment, in 1971. It remained unpublished until 2014. In Certain Circles was Harrower's final completed novel, though in the 1970s and 1980s she continued to write short fiction. She is one of Australia's most important post-war writers. She is admired by many of her contemporaries, including Patrick White and Christina Stead, who both became lifelong friends. Her novels are now being acclaimed by a new generation of readers.
