Description

A masterful collection of short stories by an American novelist at the height of her powers, Collected Stories is the bedrock of Cynthia Ozick's literary reputation. These stories explore themes of bitterness, cruelty and compulsion with brutal acuity and tenderness. In this evocative collection, Greek mythology, superstition and the cultural experience of the Jewish diaspora in America collide. The result is a timeless and deeply nuanced exploration of human experience, where characters are trapped by their own emotions and circumstances. From the seduction of a scholar to the anguish of a Yiddish poet, each story offers a unique perspective on the complexities of life. Through her writing, Ozick defines herself and her literary territory, creating a dazzling collection that may be read as a deeply personal exploration of Jewish experience or simply as a series of evocative and powerful stories.
