Sinopse

In 'The Complete Short Stories of Katherine Mansfield,' the reader is introduced to a masterful collection that showcases Mansfield's ability to illuminate the complexities of human emotions through her intricately woven narratives. Her distinctive modernist style, characterized by vivid imagery and subtle stream-of-consciousness techniques, allows readers to engage deeply with her characters' inner lives. Each story reveals the nuanced interplay between the domestic and the broader existential themes, reflecting the turbulence of early 20th-century society while embracing impromptu moments of beauty and despair. Mansfield's stories often challenge conventional narrative structures, inviting readers into a world where the fleeting nature of time plays a critical role in shaping identity and experience. Katherine Mansfield, a pioneering modernist writer from New Zealand, has left an indelible mark on literature, often drawing from her own experiences and the vibrant artistic milieu of her time. Living in Europe during pivotal historical moments, her works often reflect the profound changes in societal norms and expectations surrounding gender, love, and the complexities of human interactions. Mansfield's own tumultuous life, marked by personal struggles and thematic explorations of her expatriate existence, profoundly informed her literary voice. For readers seeking to explore the depth of human experience through succinct yet rich storytelling, 'The Complete Short Stories of Katherine Mansfield' offers a compelling journey. Mansfield's stories not only challenge readers to reflect on their lives but also serve as timeless commentaries on humanity's fragility and resilience. This collection is an essential addition to any literary canon, inviting both scholars and casual readers to appreciate the beauty of her prose.

    From award-winning novelist and cultural critic Lynne Tillman, Thrilled to Death is a collection of selected stories across the career of America's most audacious writer 
     
     
     
    Among the vanguard of American literary writers, Lynne Tillman's work has defied categorization throughout her legendary career—a singular body of work that both redefined and reimagined the short story form entirely. 
     
     
     
    Curated by the author, Thrilled to Death is the definitive entry point for both established fans and new readers alike. These selected stories collect a bold, playful, and eclectic ensemble of Tillman's Borgesian fictions that span decades and traverse themes of sex, death, memory, and anxiety. 
     
     
     
    With argumentative wit, Tillman's meditations and reflections on art, politics, and culture are animated by deliciously paradoxical characters who desire and fret in turn, and who are imbued with searing intelligence and dolorous ambivalence. Describing Tillman's writing, Colm Tóibín says: "Her style has both tone and undertone; it attempts to register the impossibility of saying very much, but it insists on the right to say a little. So what is essential is the voice itself, its ways of knowing and unknowing."
