Collected Stories of Reynolds Price by Reynolds Price
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 2.2 MB
Overview: For over three decades, Reynolds Price has been one of America’s most distinguished writers, in a career that has been remarkable both for its virtuosity and for the variety of literary forms he has embraced. Now he shows himself as much a master of the story as he is of the novel, in a volume that presents fifty stories, including two early collections — The Names and Faces of Heroes and Permanent Errors — as well as more than two dozen new stories that have never been gathered together before.
In his introduction, Mr. Price explains how, after the publication of his first two collections, he wrote no new stories for almost twenty years. "But once I needed — for unknown reasons in a new and radically altered life — to return to the story, it opened before me like a new chance…A collection like this then," he adds, "…will show a writer’s preoccupations in ways the novel severely rations (novels are partly made for that purpose — the release from self, long flights through the Other). John Keats’s assertion that ‘the excellence of every Art is its intensity’ has served as a license and standard for me. From the start my stories were driven by heat — passion and mystery, often passion for the mystery I’ve found in particular rooms and spaces and the people they threaten or shelter and my general aim is the transfer of a spell of keen witness, perceived by the reader as warranted in character and act."
