SynopsisNew York Times Notable Book of the YearP ublishers Weekly Best Book of 1997With an Introduction by Robert Giroux, The Complete Stories of Bernard Malamud is "an essential American book," Richard Stern declared in the Chicago Tribune when the collection was published in hardcover. His praise was echoed by other reviewers and by readers, who embraced the book as they might a displaced person in one of Malamud's stories, now returned to us, complete and fulfilled and recognized at last. The volume gathers together fifty-five stories, from "Armistice" (1940) to "Alma Redeemed" (1984), and including the immortal stories from The Magic Barrel and the vivid depictions of the unforgettable Fidelman. It is a varied and generouscollection of great examples of the modern short story, which Malamud perfected, and an ideal introduction to the work of this great American writer.
Malamud is one of my favorite writers, whether its novels or short stories. This collection contains his complete stories. Almost all of them are superb. Even the five stories that were unpublished in the author's lifetime were excellent.
