Un vespre al paradís

A collection of previously uncompiled stories from the short-story master and literary sensation Lucia Berlin

In 2015, FSG published A Manual for Cleaning Women , a posthumous story collection by a relatively unknown writer, to wild, widespread acclaim. It was a New York Times bestseller; the paper’s Book Review named it one of the Ten Best Books of 2015; and NPR, Time , Entertainment Weekly , The Guardian , The Washington Post , the Chicago Tribune , and other outlets gave the book rave reviews.

Evening in Paradise is a careful selection from the remaining Berlin stories—a jewel box follow-up for Lucia Berlin’s hungry fans.
