About this product
Product Information
Twenty-seven short stories by "a contemporary master" ( The New York Times ). Since 1986 with the publication of her first story collection, Deborah Eisenberg has devoted herself to writing "exquisitely distilled stories" which "present an unusually distinctive portrait of contemporary American life" to quote the MacArthur Foundation. This one volume brings together Transactions in a Foreign Currency (1986), Under the 82nd Airborne (1992), All Around Atlantis (1997) and Twilight of the Superheroes (2006). "One of America's finest writers."-- San Francisco Chronicle "Concentrated bursts of perfection."-- The Times (London) "Shimmering stories that possess the power and charm to move us." -- The New York Times "Exhilarating."-- Harper's Magazine "Outstanding."-- Christian Science Monitor "Eisenberg simply writes like no one else."-- Elle "Eisenberg's stories possess all the steely beauty of a knife wrapped in velvet."-- The Boston Globe "Dazzling."-- Time Out New York "Magic."-- Newsweek "Comic, elegant and pitch perfect."-- Vanity Fair "One of the great fiction writers living in America today."-- The Dallas Morning News "There aren't many contemporary novels as shudderingly intimate and mordantly funny as Eisenberg's best stories."-- The New York Times Book Review

One of America's finest storytellers has been anthologized: The Collected Stories of Deborah Eisenberg (Picador) locates elegant symmetries in uncertain lives navigating uncertain times., Sarcastic, self-aware, and often wickedly funny.... Perhaps the most compelling aspect of Eisenberg's stories is the ease with which she captures the fearful excitement of being human, and our reluctance to acknowledge how little our circumstances have to do with our own decisions., If you haven't discovered Deborah Eisenberg's beautifully crafted short stories, this is a good choice, because you will want to read and reread them all. These stories are rich and delicate, and linger in the memory to shift and amplify their values. Eisenberg's subtle, intelligent observations put readers in the best company., This season, I chose four books of stories to read and recommend. At the top of my list--and highly recommended--is The Collected Stories of Deborah Eisenberg ., What is it like to be a genius? Ask Deborah Eisenberg. The question is not as hyperbolic as it might seem; last year, Eisenberg was awarded a MacArthur fellowship, usually referred to as a 'Genius Grant'. If that award served to spotlight Eisenberg's achievement as one of America's foremost writers of fiction, this new volume of collected stories confirms it, illustrating that over the past 25 years Eisenberg has become better and better at the things at which, 25 years ago, she was already something of a master...., "One of America's finest storytellers has been anthologized: The Collected Stories of Deborah Eisenberg (Picador) locates elegant symmetries in uncertain lives navigating uncertain times." -VOGUE.com "Sarcastic, self-aware, and often wickedly funny….
