A treasury of both fiction and nonfiction by the award-winning author, including new material: "What a treat... She's one of our very best writers." -Ann Beattie, author of
A Wonderful Stroke of Luck
The author of such classics as
Shiloh and the memoir
Clear Springs, a Pulitzer Prize finalist, Kentucky-born Bobbie Ann Mason has been hailed as "a full-fledged master of the short story" by Anne Tyler and "an American original" by Jayne Anne Phillips. This reader collects outstanding examples of Mason's award-winning work from throughout her career and provides a unique look at the development of one of the country's finest writers.
Patchwork contains short stories first published in the
New Yorker and other leading periodicals; chapters from Mason's acclaimed novels, including
In Country, An Atomic Romance, and
The Girl in the Blue Beret; and riveting excerpts from Mason's eclectic nonfiction. Some examples of Mason's recent explorations in flash fiction appear here in print for the first time.
Mason's writing glows with a nuanced understanding of the struggles and pathos of American life in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. As George Saunders says in his introduction, "Bobbie Ann Mason is a strange and beautiful writer.... Her stories exist to gently touch on, and praise, even mourn, what it feels like to be alive in this moment."
Patchwork conveys Mason's extraordinary talent and range.
