About this book
The fifty stories of this anthology document the career of one of America's finest minor writers from 1927 through 1966. The themes and concerns follow her moving and maturing: there is the Midwest, Atlantic City, France, Austria, England, occupied Germany and postwar New York. Changing as history changed, the stories deal with childhood and parentage, sexuality, crass exploitation, prejudice, Fascism, war, American values and the disorientation of individuals.
