Collected Stories

Résumé du livre

"These forty-one short stories are Mark Van Doren's personal selection from the many he has written and published over the year. They are diverse in character, setting, and mood, yet underlying them all is a sensitivity for the subtle and delicate relationships among people. In turn, his stories arouse a wistful feeling for the past and they surprise and delight. Ever present is the compassion of the poet. The scope is wide, from the pastoral to the frantically urban, from the innocent to the sophisticated, and the collection even includes tales of the supernatural" -- Dust jacket.
