Description
'The short story, with its tight formal constraints, proves to be a fruitful medium for Harrower's Gothic sensibilities. At the same time, she uses the short form to offer her imprisoned characters a glimpse of freedom--even if the cynical reader will recognize that the promise of escape is ironic...Artful short-form fiction best for Harrower's dedicated fans.'--Kirkus 'I can't recommend this brilliant, austere writer strongly enough...Harrower is funny and elegant and devastating.'--James Wood, New Yorker'Wide-ranging in mood and style, this is a virtuoso but warm-hearted display of the genre.'--The Lady [UK] 'These are wise and serious stories about deep feelings. Harrower is one of those writers you can't believe you've missed - but what a joy to discover her.'--Daily Mail [UK] 'Watchful, witty, unillusioned, exultant...There's a note of elegy in all of Harrower's work, even as the adrenaline flows, and a lyricism reminiscent of F. Scott Fitzgerald at his desperate best.'--Times Literary Supplement
'Harrower can pierce your heart.'--Michael Dirda, the Washington Post
'Utterly hypnotic.'--Eimear McBride, author of A Girl is a Half-formed Thing
'Like a treasure from an unearthed time capsule....Harrower's fearsome objectivity and her bristling, beautiful prose come from modernist masters like Katherine Mansfield and Elizabeth Bowen.'--The Wall Street Journal
Internationally acclaimed for her five brilliant novels, Elizabeth Harrower also wrote a number of extraordinary short stories. Some have been previously published, but others are released here for the first time.
A Few Days in the Country is a stellar collection, which underlines Harrower's standing as one of the great post-war Australian writers.
Elizabeth Harrower is the author of Down in the City, The Long Prospect, The Catherine Wheel, and The Watch Tower--all republished as Text Classics--and In Certain Circles, which was published in 2014 and in early 2015 was a BBC Radio 4 Book at Bedtime.
