Sintesi dell'editore
Mysterious, funny, insightful, and heartbreaking, these are tales of expatriates and exiles, wise children and straying saints. They compose a secret history, both intimate and panoramic, of modern times, and offer a kaleidoscopic impression of the world within a world that is Paris.
- Audie Award Finalist, Short Stories, Collections, 2007
"Mavis Gallant writes some of the most superbly crafted and perceptive stories of our time." (Globe and Mail)
"Mavis Gallant's finely honed prose captures the small details that illuminate a life." (Publishers Weekly)
"Ms. Gallant...has dared to drift in a disorienting century, always trusting her own imaginative compass. Her fiction, never fooled into trying to keep up with history, will last a long time." (New York Times)

beautifully narrated
This are great stories full of insight, humor, and
complexity. The narrator, Lorna Raver, is amazing; she can mimic voices of her characters, male or female, with uncanny realism. Highly recommended on all counts.

table of contents!
Love these stories. My one critique is that short story anthologies needs to have the title of the story, and numbering chapters is useless. The lack of a good table of contents makes it very difficult to relisten

The readers ruin it for me
I just thought the readers were very annoying. The stories I found uninteresting. Maybe I’m missing something

exquisite
Gallant's stories are perfectly crafted and delicious. Lorna Raver's narration is pure and satirical, beautiful formed and a delight to listen to. Rasovksy's leave some to be desired but with some attention can be tolerated. a really fine experience.

Never could get into it
I could never get into this audio at all. What I did hear was not captivating. This is one of those I regret!

Sorry, no Chekhov here
Or William Trevor, for that matter. I struggled to get through these stories because they were devoid of action. Even in a short story, something - anything - has to happen to somebody. I was expecting a lot more. The narrator is good, but I tired of her voice because I tired of the story, and not the other way 'round.

Flawless writing, performance ok
Would you listen to Paris Stories again? Why?
I am a big fan of Mavis Gallant, her writing is incomparable - I was pleased to discover Paris Stories had been turned into an audio book. The performance, however, is just a bit over the top for Gallant- this is especially true in the Ice Wagon Going Down the Street. Gallant deserves a much more subtle reader/performer, one that teases out the subtext of her writing. Compare these recordings to writer Margaret Atwood reading Gallant's Voices Lost in the Snow in a New Yorker podcast and you'll see the difference!
