Paris Stories
• Mavis Gallant

Though these magnificent stories were all written in Paris (where Gallant has long lived), they range in setting from the Left Bank neighborhoods she knows so well to the French Riviera, postwar Germany, and Franco-era Spain. If you haven't read her (many of the stories originally appeared in the New Yorker), you are in for a treat. Gallant surely ranks among the greatest short story writers of the 20th century. She advises savoring them one a time (stories are not chapters in a novel!).
