EVAN S. CONNELL,
Jr.
His new collection of short stories is just pub–
lished. In it, the author of the brilliant novel
Mrs. Bridge,
demonstrates again his extraordi–
nary .diversity of talent and interest.
Connell the realist is seen at his most subtly
perceptive in the stories about N.1:uhlbach - the
man whose life is totally dislocated by the death
of his wife. In contrast: the jaunty surrealism
of the Leon and Bebert stoties, in which two
young men substitute intense talk for experi–
ence. Between the two poles is a rich variety of
stories in many moods - the latest work of one
of America's most gifted writers:
AT THE CROSSROADS
