She may be the best writer of stories since the early-1950s prime of John Cheever, Eudora Welty, and Flannery O'Connor, and even in such august company, her work is sui generis. Gallant's short fiction refines the art of the story even as it expands the boundaries of what a story can be. Above and beyond that, however, it constitutes a striking, almost avant-garde reduction. To read her is to discover something about the very nature of story: how for better or worse life is caught up in it, and how on the page that common predicament can come to life. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe Uncollected Stories of Mavis Gallant includes more than thirty stories never before gathered into one volume, including \"The Accident\" and \"His Mother\" and \"An Autobiography\" and \"Dédé.\" With the publication of this book, finally all of this modern master's fiction will be in print.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eMavis Gallant\u003c\/b\u003e (1922-2014) was born in Montreal and worked as a journalist at the \u003ci\u003eMontreal Standard\u003c\/i\u003e before moving to Europe to devote herself to writing fiction.
