The complete short fiction of Morley Callaghan appears as he comes into full recognition as one of the singular storytellers of our time. In four volumes, several stories are collected for the first time, two of which—“An Autumn Penitent” and “In His Own Country”—have been out of print for decades.
23 really excellent pieces of short fiction by an acknowleged master, plus one novella that's also lovely. There is gentle, somewhat sentimental, and small-town atmosphere in all of these stories (even the ones set in the city), and they range from melancholy to funny. I really ought to find the other volumes.
