Short Stories by Women.
Social prejudice, apartheid emigration, ghosts, families, marriage - all the stories in this edition are brilliant examples of imaginative inner vision, awareness of the gulf between hopes and dreams and the frequent hostility of the real world. Funny, ferocious, dreamlike, fantastical, exciting and sometimes disturbing, the stories - many written in the last twenty years - offer an extraordinarily varied range of moods and voices.
From Katherine Mansfield and Elizabeth Bowen, to Nadine Gordimer and Alice Munro, this is a celebration of some of the century's finest short-story writers.
