Short Stories by Women
Secret visions and unwelcome realities, individual desires and family restrictions.
In this immensely readable selection of stories by modern women writers, several, including those by Grace Paley and Joyce Coral Oates, portray the adult world through a child's eyes. Another enduring theme is their powerful sense of place, with stories by Anita Desai, Sylvia Townsend Warner and Elizabeth Jane Howard combining rich local detail with glimpses of the world beyond the secret self.
'The Secret Self 1' also includes stories by Katherine Mansfield, Willa Carter, Doris Lesing, Jean Rhys, Nadine Gordimer, Elizabeth Taylor, Ruth Prawer Jhabvala, Janet Frame and Ahdaf Soueif.
