Reviews
"This is a masterly collection of the work of writers who almost invariably deliver the deep pleasures of first-rate literature. It is a joy and a privilege simply to hold it in one's hands." -Vivian Gornick "Engrossing, inventive, inspiring, the stories gathered here testify to the range and richness of women's literary traditions as they have triumphantly moved into the twenty-first century. Wendy Martin's shrewd selections document contemporary complexities along with the enduring powers of the authorial imagination. Read and rejoice." -Sandra M. Gilbert, author of The Madwoman in the Attic "Reading these sparkling stories by contemporary masters is pure pleasure. No sooner did I finish one than I was drawn into the next. Together they constitute an eloquent tribute to the fine art of American short fiction." -Alix Kates Shulman, author of Memoirs of an Ex-Prom Queen "This wonderful collection gives us a rich sense of the varieties of female experience, allowing us to experience nuanced, insightful, gripping, and sometimes humorous accounts of the emotional and cultural-political worlds in which women create their lives." -Nancy J. Chodorow, author of The Reproduction of Mothering " More Stories We Tell builds a many-chambered honeycomb out of myriad female experiences, and the whole is subtly greater than the sum of the intricate parts. The anthology is a pleasure to read from beginning to end-expertly selected fiction that would be at home in any 'Best Of' collection. A book to give as well as to savor." -Diane Middlebrook, author of Her Husband: Hughes and Plath-A Marriage, "This is a masterly collection of the work of writers who almost invariably deliver the deep pleasures of first-rate literature.
