The twenty stories here, many of which first appeared in The
New Yorker and have since been anthologized throughout the world,
are strikingly beautiful essays on enduring and universal
questions: In Rome, in the hour of his death, and American priest
must choose between his Church and his God. An Israeli scout risks
the safety and respect of his comrades in an act of transfiguring
gentleness and charity. In a hot, dirty typewriter ribbon factory
in the Bronx, a young man finds love. A Dutch child in a Canadian
orphanage carries in her heart, her love for her parents and the
pain of war. A soldier is overpowered by his days of burying the
dead. A Sicilian widow meditates on the end of her family line.
These twenty stories are strikingly beautiful pieces on enduring,
universal questions by a writer the San Francisco Review of Books
calls “a master crafter of the short story.”
