Description
?Beautifully crafted stories from one of our most honored authors? (The New York Times), Ron Hansen's She Loves Me Not is an acclaimed collection of stunning fiction, three decades in the writing.
Ron Hansen has long been celebrated as a master of both the novel and the short form. His stories have been called ?extraordinary? (The New York Times Book Review) and ?wise and smart? (The Washington Post).
In She Loves Me Not, the subjects of Hansen's scrutiny range from Oscar Wilde to murder to dementia to romance, and display Hansen at his storytelling best: These are ?unforgettable stories, each utterly different from the one before....This is writing that slows the breathing? (San Francisco Chronicle). Readers will thrill to Hansen's masterful attention to the smallest and most telling details, even as he plunges straight into the deepest recesses of desire, love, fury, and loss. Magisterial in its scope and surprising in its variety, She Loves Me Not shows an author at the height of his powers and confirms Hansen's place as a major American writer. This breathtaking collection ?should put him on the short-story map? (USA TODAY).
She Loves Me Not contains an excerpt from Hansen's new novel, The Kid, to be published in fall, 2016.
