(Short stories, 375 pp. 2011)
Spanning four decades and three prize-winning collections, these 34 stories are set around the world: from Jerusalem to Central America, from tsarist Russia to London during the Blitz, from central Europe to Manhattan, and from the Maine coast to a fictional suburb of Boston. These charged locales, and the lives of the endlessly varied characters within them, are evoked with tenderness and incisiveness.
