A High New House by Thomas WIlliams eBook
Williams debut collection of stories which was awarded the Dial Press Fellowship for Fiction. Many of the stories were previously published and one was an O.Henry prize winning story. From the author: “Although when I wrote them I was never conscious of any central theme in these stories, it seems to me they are all concerned with the conflict in man between his violence and his gentleness. I don’t know the outcome of this conflict, but I must keep trying to find out.”

praise
"The author is a master of the short story form.... Some of the titles in this collection have appeared elsewhere; one is an O. Henry prize winner and all have prize potential. The first story, A High New House, demonstrates Mr. Williams' unerring eye for the nerve- wracking detail. --Kirkus Reviews
