Fiction Poetry
Margaret Drabble’s novels have illuminated the past fifty
years, especially the changing lives of women, like no
others. Yet her short fiction has its own unique brilliance.
Her penetrating evocations of character and place, her
wide-ranging curiosity, her sense of irony—all are on
display here, in stories that explore marriage, female
friendships, the English tourist abroad, love affairs with
houses, peace demonstrations, gin and tonics, cultural TV
programs; in stories that are perceptive, sharp, and funny.
An introduction by the Spanish academic José Fernández
places the stories in the context of her life and her
novels. This collection is a wonderful recapitulation of a
masterly career.
