The Collected Short Stories of Conrad Aiken

The Collected Short Stories of Conrad Aiken

This indispensable volume, which includes the classic stories â€œSilent Snow, Secret Snowâ€ and â€œMr. Arcularis,â€ is a testament to the dazzling artistry of one of the twentieth centuryâ€™s most influential writers

A young woman passes through the countryside to visit her dying grandmother for a final time. A cabbie, exhausted from a long dayâ€™s work, fights to get an intoxicated woman out of his taxi. A man on his way to a bachelor party tries to come to grips with the brutishness that lies within every gentlemanâ€”and finds that Bacardi cocktails do nothing to help.
Â
A master craftsman whose poetry and prose offer profound insight into the riddle of consciousness, Conrad Aiken thrills, disturbs, and inspires in all forty-one of these astute and eloquent tales.
