The Collected Stories of Jean Stafford
The Collected Stories of Jean Stafford | Jean Stafford
2 posts | 9 to read
These Pulitzer Prize-winning stories represent the major short works of fiction by one of the most distinctively American stylists of her day. Jean Stafford communicates the small details of loneliness and connection, the search for freedom and the desire to belong, that not only illuminate whole lives but also convey with an elegant economy of words the sense of the place and time in which her protagonists find themselves. The Collected Stories of Jean Stafford includes the acclaimed story "An Influx of Poets," which has never before appeared in book form.

Falling in
love is not an abrupt plunge; it is a gradual descent, seldom in
a straight line, rather like the floating downward of a parachute. And the expression is imperfect because while one may fall one also levitates.
-Caveat Emptor
