Diane Williams

Powell's City of Books 1005 W Burnside Street, Portland, OR, United States

From Powell's website: The Collected Stories of Diane Williams (Soho) brings together over 300 of Diane Williams’s new and previously published short fictions – distilled works of “unsettling brilliance” (Vanity Fair) that have rewritten the rules of the American short story. In the introduction, Ben Marcus writes, “Diane Williams has spent her long, prolific career concocting fictions of perfect strangeness, most of them no more than a page long… It’s a rare feeling her stories trigger, but it’s a keen and deep and welcome one, the sort of feeling that wakes us up to complication and beauty and dissonance and fragility.” Preorder a signed edition of The Collected Stories of Diane Williams
