Book Overview

"Bowles's tales are at once austere, witty, violent, and sensuous. They move with the inevitability of myth. His language has a purity of line, a poise and authority entirley its own." --Tobias Wolff

From "The Delicate Prey" to "Too Far from Home," this definitive collection celebrates the Bowles's masterful artistry in short fiction.
