Publisher's Note
Harriet Doerr's first novel, STONES FOR IBARRA, was published by Viking in 1984 when she was seventy-three years old. That novel of Mexico was universally acclaimed by the critics and won the 1985 American Book Award for First Fiction. Doerr's second novel, CONSIDER THIS, SENORA, came out in 1993 and also received glorious reviews. Her first collection of stories and anecdotal pieces. THE TIGER IN THE GRASS, reveals the same startling sensitivity and sculpted prose that mad STONES FOR IBARRA a runaway bestseller. In those fifteen works, Doerr explores the magical power of memory as it harvests experience, bringing us a wealth of unforgettable characters: eccentric eighty-two-year-old Great-Aunt Alice, who, empowered by a lucid memory, lived out her final, physically debilitated years with grace; Edie, "bony and flat," with "eyes of an uncompromising blue," who arrives in California from England to bring sanity and peace to a house with five half-orphaned children and a despairing widower; Paco, eight years old, and Gloria, eleven, children caught between the longings and pleasures of childhood and the harsh mature realities of their meager circumstances in a Mexican village. These and other characters are captured in the web of life with all the richness and beauty that distinguishes Doerr's prose. These short works, some published in this collection for the first time, confirm Harriet Doerr's richly deserved reputation as a writer of the first order, one whose sheer elegance and rigorous economy touch the reader at every turn.
Industry reviews
"...with her keen attention to detail in matters of character and emotion, [Doerr] demonstrates a compassionate spirit...this new book allows Ms. Doerr to contemplate certain events from the nearly nine decades of her life...Several of the short stories [are] set in Ibarra. Others explore different parts of rural Mexico...these previously uncollected short works are strikingly pure and radiant." New York Times Book Review - Ruth Coughlin (01/07/1996)
