This week on the ABR Podcast, Patrick Flanery reviews The Uncollected Stories of Mavis Gallant, edited by Garth Risk Hallberg. Gallant’s stories mostly appeared in The New Yorker from the 1950s to the 1990s. Indeed, she was one of its most frequent contributors, with the likes of John Cheever and John Updike. Nonetheless, her work has been under-appreciated – until now. Patrick Flanery writes that this collection seeks ‘to ensure that every serious reader knows precisely why one might wish to spend time in Gallant’s idiosyncratic and determinedly realist house of fiction.’ Flanery is the author of four novels, including Absolution, which was shortlisted for the International IMPAC Dublin Literary award. He is Chair of Creative Writing at the University of Adelaide. Here her is with ‘A writer’s writer’s writer: Mavis Gallants neglected oeuvre’, which appears in the May issue of ABR.
