Alice Adams's short fiction, forty years in the lives of American women
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 14 years ago
Adams may be the most underrated American woman short story writer of the later twentieth century. The other two reviewers seem to have missed all the subtlety and artistry of these fine stories, which deal with racism, women's work and relationships, and the triumph of individual spirit over cliched expectations.
