THE LOTTERY AND 7 OTHER STORIES

These eight selections are by the celebrated Vermont faculty wife who wrote memorably of the macabre amid the mundane. "The Lottery," her most famous tale, is certainly not the least of these superb short stories. Carol Jordan Stewart reads them with clarity, if not with depth. Her unadorned style complements the author's literary character, despite her weak delivery of the stories' closings. Y.R. © AudioFile 2000, Portland, Maine [Published: APR/MAY 00]
