Read Mavis Gallant’s Work Here
Yesterday word came that Mavis Gallant had died, in Paris, at the age of ninety-one. Gallant published a hundred and sixteen short stories in The New Yorker. The magazine put several of them online (including at least one for non-subscribers), and commented: ‘Often, her fiction drew its energy from contradictory qualities: her stories were minutely observed but also suspenseful, matter-of-fact but also fanciful, reportorial but also imaginative.’
