book description
What if God was lonely? What if a reader could change the stories they read? What if a machine had survived the universe? The stories in this collection are stories about the end of worlds and empires and universes and stories. There is a story about the end and the beginning of time. There is a story about Men in the Universe after the end of the earth. There's a story about the oldest sound, the sound anyone can hear that suddenly and dramatically stops, and the deaf detective who was hired to solve the mystery. These collected tales are glimpses of worlds, fiction framed by fantasy, and journeys so far into the future that at the end perhaps there is nothing left to greet the traveller.

book description
Eudora Welty said that Katherine Anne Porter "writes stories with a power that impresses them in minute detail." Set in their native Texas and beloved Mexico, in pre-war Nazi Germany and in the Gothic Old South, they tell tales of love, outrage, betrayal and spiritual reckoning that are stern but never cruel and always extremely precise. Their number is fewer than thirty, but as Robert Penn Warren commented, "many are unsurpassed in modern literature". and when they were compiled into one volume in 1965, they won their author both the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award. The Library of America is now reprinting this groundbreaking volume, The Collected Stories of Katherine Anne Porter, and combining it with an all-new selection of Porter's long-out-of-print short fiction. Expanding on the content of her 1952 collection, The Days Before, the prose works collected here include both early journalism and important pieces from her last three decades, and are organized into four parts: critical essays on writers she loved and from whom she learned, including James , Catherine, Lawrence and Colette; personal essays and speeches on subjects such as the craft of writing, her own work, women in myth and history, and American politics; Essays and reports on Mexican life, letters and revolution; and two previously unpublished forays into autobiography.

book description
Short stories and Geordie poems {pomes} that started as creative writing class homework. A book of short stories usually contains between five and fifteen stories. You read about one with sixty of the little critters ranging in size from fifty to over five thousand words and believe me the heavier of those two was the fifties! While writing these I was held under strict restraint, gagged; tied up I'm talking about HEAVY restraint here! So, dear true reader: - The sex is low key and offstage, very different from my usual work, but if you like romance, detective fiction, the odd ghost, with just a sprinkling of fantasy; If you prefer your wives to be resolute, red-blooded, and willing to do the bidding when necessary, then this book is for you.

book description
A literary event at the cutting edge, The Collected Stories of Richard Yates brings together, for the first time, Yates' peerless short stories in a single volume. Richard Yates has been hailed as one of the most powerful, compassionate, and technically skilled writers of post-war America, and his work has inspired talents as diverse as Richard Ford, Ann Beattie, André Dubus, Robert Stone, and Kurt Vonnegut Jr. This collection, as powerful as Yates' beloved Revolutionary Road, includes the stories of his classic works Eleven Kinds of Loneliness (a book the New York Times Book Review hailed as "the New York equivalent of Dubliners") and Liars in Love; It also includes nine new stories, seven of which were never published. Whether it's the stifled desires of suburban housewives, the desperation of Manhattan office workers, the grim humor that accompanies life in a tuberculosis ward, or the moments of frightened peace experienced by American soldiers in World War II, Yates explores each frayed corner of the American Dream. His stories, as sensitive as they are unforgiving, are like no other in our nation's literature. Released with a moving introduction by novelist Richard Russo, this collection will stand as its author's final masterpiece.
