I enjoyed this. Some of the stories I had to re-read. I think this is a book that I wouldn't have enjoyed before, but there were nuggets here and there. Mostly the stories which left me really depressed were the ones that, upon re-reading, left me with something worthwhile. (

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0786163437, Audio CD)

Mavis Gallant is an undisputed master of the short story whose peerless prose captures the range of human experience while evoking time and place with unequaled skill. This new collection of fifteen of Gallant's stories, edited by best-selling author Michael Ondaatje, gathers the best of her many stories set in Europe and Paris, where Gallant has long lived.

Mysterious, funny, insightful, and heartbreaking, these are tales of expatriates and exiles, wise children and straying saints. They comprise a secret history, both intimate and panoramic, of modern times, offering a kaleidoscopic impression of the world within a world that is Paris.
