Product Description

The complete short fiction of Morley Callaghan - some 95 stories - appears as he comes into full recognition as one of the singular storytellers of our time. In four volumes, several stories are collected for the first time, and three of the longer stories - "An Autumn Penitent," "In His Own Country," and "The Man with the Coat" - have been out of print for decades. As Alistair MacLeod says in his introduction, Callaghan "was determined to bring the news, and that, as Ezra Pound would have it, is news that STAYS news."

About the Author
Born in Toronto in 1903, Morley Callaghan graduated from the University of Toronto and Osgoode Hall. He was called to the bar in 1928 but he never practiced law. Although he traveled widely, and lived in Paris for some time during the golden years of Hemingway and Fitzgerald, Callaghan spent most of his life in Toronto producing fifteen novels, a memoir and streams of short stories. He was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature and in Canada received a host of honors, including the Governor General’s Award for Fiction. He died in 1990.
