Luke’s Reviews > The Collected Stories of Jean Stafford > Status Update

This is shaping up to be a five star collection. I haven't amassed much in the way of individual quotes or stories to refer back to as keystones of this particular prediction, but I'll figure all that out when review time comes.

So far, a US expatriate romp with a taste for the penultimate plot twist and little fear of dropping historical references or portraying nasty sociopolitical realities. And yet, for all that, generally holding together rather well without overly relying on sentiment or bad faith. I can understand why such doesn't prove popular today, but it's a shame nonetheless.
