End-Time Events

In these nine tales of loss and pleasure, lovers and family, a woman learns to conduct an affair, a child of divorce dances with her mother, and a woman with a terminal illness contemplates her exit. "Brisk, ironic...scalpel-sharp."

(Penguin Classics/Deluxe Edition). Originally published in 1951, the novel was acclaimed by William Faulkner, as "...one of the best, most true and moving novels...in anybody's language."
