About this product

Product Information

The "funny, wise, and wonderful" ( USA Today ) book of short stories that won the National Book Award and established Ellen Gilchrist as a leading writer of the American South. In her second collection, Ellen Gilchrist creates an unforgettable group of Southern women, enchanted and enchanting, who cavort through life, in and out of bars, marriages, and divorces, through the world of art and culture, drug busts, lovers' arms, and even earthquakes, in an attempt to find, if not happiness, at least some satisfaction. Throughout these stories, one hears echoes of Flannery O'Connor and Eudora Welty, but Ms. Gilchrist has her own unique literary voice -- and it is outrageously funny, moving, tragic, and always appealing. "Ellen Gilchrist is terrific." --Norman Mailer "This book is a delight." -- Cleveland Plain Dealer

    A Writer to be Cherished

    The first book which I read, by Ellen Gilchrist, was "The Annuniciation". That was twenty years ago, and I still think it gives the best view of the cultural makeup of New Orleans which I have ever read. The second book I read was "Victory Over Japan". Gilchrist is a wonderful writer, and, over the years, she has fulfilled her initial promise. "Victory Over Japan" is a collection of short stories about the years at the end and just after World War II. Once again, Gilchrist returns to her home territory of Louisiana and the South. Her writing is in the tradition of Faulkner, O'Connor and other great Southerners. After you have read "Victory Over Japan", you can be uplifted by the fact that there are many more works by this writer available for your reading pleasure.
