Mavis Gallant is back in fashion. Of course, for those paying attention, the late Canadian writer never went out of fashion in the first place. Be that as it may, she’s back, in the form of this Pushkin Press Classics edition of her short stories, complete with an introduction from author Tessa Hadley.
These stories — which were published between the mid 1950s and early 1990s — touch on loss, exile and the distance between people who are intimately connected. They are vital and lively, but not maudlin.
