Summary Note Twenty-eight works of short fiction in all, Shirley Hazzard's collected stories is a work of staggering breadth and talent. Taken together, Hazzard's short stories are masterworks in telescoping focus, ranging from quotidian struggles between beauty and pragmatism to satirical sendups of international bureaucracy, from the Italian countryside to suburban Connecticut. In an interview, Hazzard once said, 'The idea that somebody has expressed something, in a supreme way, that it can be expressed; this is, I think, an enormous feature of literature'. Her stories themselves are a supreme evocation of writing at its very best: probing, uncompromising and deeply felt.
