Ever since the publication of The Harmony of the World in 1984, Charles Baxter has slowly gained a reputation as one of America s finest short-story writers. Each subsequent collection Through the Safety Net, A Relative Stranger, and Believers was further confirmation of his mastery: his gift for capturing the immediate moment, for revealing the unexpected in the ordinary, for showing how the smallest shock can pierce the heart of an intimacy. Gryphon brings together the best of Baxter s previous collections with seven new stories, giving us the most complete portrait of his achievement.
By turns compassionate, gently humorous, and haunting, Gryphon proves William Maxwell s assertion that nobody can touch Charles Baxter in the field that he has carved out for himself.
