Crossing the Border: Fifteen Tales

JCO Bibliography - Short Story Collections (34 items)
list by MovieCat

A new collection of short stories by one of North America's foremost literary figures. In this volume, individuals approach and sometimes cross borders—borders separating men from women, innocence from experience, one way of life from another. The scene is often set in Canada, the great land beyond the border of the United States so inadequately known by most Americans. Residing as she does in that country, Miss Oates writes with a sympathetic knowledge of the people on both sides of the border whose stories she tells with her matchless artistry.
