ELLEN GILCHRIST

Collected Stories

“Every story is crisp, biting, and deceptively simple…. Ellen Gilchrist deserves to be celebrated among the first rank of American writers.”

— Joan Mellen, Baltimore Sun

“Collected Stories is cause for celebration…. Gilchrist is such a persuasive writer that we feel a kinship with her characters’ messy, interesting lives.”

—Nancy Pate, Orlando Sentinel

“Gilchrist’s stories are compulsively readable, often memorable, and particularly well suited to an omnibus collection…. Collectively, these stories offer a rare combination of page-turning entertainment with provocative insights on the nature and challenge of happiness.”

— Scott Leibs, San Diego Union-Tribune

“The varied stories in this collection demonstrate Gilchrist’s nearly limitless range…. Each is still as charged and crackling with its own centrifugal emotion as the day it was written.”

— Tommy Hays, Atlanta Journal-Constitution
