Ranging in subject from the story of the exposure of a respected doctor's infidelity by the family's longtime cook to the tale of elderly siblings whose party for young people exposes the town's class divisions, the stories often explore family dynamics within the larger society of the South.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"He comes as close as an American writer can to rivaling Chekhov." --<i>The New York Times</i> <p/>"[Taylor] writes prose as clear as a fine pane of glass." --<i>Time</i> <p/>"No one writing in English can do more with a short story . . .
