Coppard's stories still feel fresh and surprising today. Coppard came to the short story later in life but left an indelible mark on it. Staunch in his belief that the short story was a distinctive form with little relation to the novel, he wove his tales out of the substance of life in the English countryside, with its memorable and distinctive characters. Reissued with a new preface from award-winning and bestselling author Russell Banks, and including classic tales like 'The Black Dog,' 'The Handsome Lady,' and 'The Higgler,' The Hurly Burly and other stories restores this enormously important writer to the position he deserves and introduces him to a new generation of readers.-- $c Front cover flap. 655 7 $a short stories. $2 aat 655 7 $a Short stories. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01726740 655 7 $a Short stories. $2 lcgft 655 7 $a Nouvelles. $2 rvmgf 700 1 $a Banks, Russell, $d 1940- $e writer of preface. $e writer of preface. 830 0 $a Art of the story. 941 $a 1 952 $l PLAX964 $d 20240724074725.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E749306E214711EEBC7340321FECA4DB 994 $a 92 $b IOHInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
