Mendocino and Other Stories
The first book by Ann Packer, a collection of short stories originally published in The New Yorker, Ploughshares, and other magazines.
“Precisely observed….Packer has a knack for rendering with economy and eloquence those rare interludes of grace that come upon her characters unannounced.”
—The New York Times Book Review
“Well crafted….Packer’s real strength is her slightly skewed vision and sharp eye for detail that reveal the cracks and fissures in the most ordinary of lives, loves and losses.”
—The Washington Post Book World
