incurs responsibilities. Readers come to expect insights into from him -- and in this volume Charles Jackson has fulfilled his obligations.
This outstanding author presents here a group of his latest short stories -- a widely varied gallery of portraits, touching, funny, always recognizable and moving: of men and women facing the things that most of us have to face, but not always reacting as we do.
The high level of writing set by The Lost Weekend and The Fall of Valor is beautifully maintained in this collection, equally distinguished by the sympathy for human foibles that has helped to make Mr. Jackson internationally famous.
