Product Description
Morley Callaghan began writing stories as a teenager (his first, unpublished little story is included here), and then in the 50s, with a long story - "The Man with the Coat" (recipient of the one and only Maclean’s Fiction Prize) - he gave up the form, saying it had become "too familiar, too easy." Through those years, his stories were published all over the world, but he had, as time and generations changed, a very ambiguous and fluid relationship with writers in Canada. Margaret Atwood, in her introduction, discusses not only the singular quality of his work, but the various ways in which his work was read by herself and others of her generation.

Product Description
As André Alexis says in his introduction, "There is much to talk about in these stories" because Callaghan is "writing about the inherent, he is after what lies within," and Callaghan’s characters are inherently "in flight, hard to grasp, on the verge of change, subject to unexpected and unsuspected impulses: the irrational (anger, violence, jealousy, sexual desire, blind hatred...) His chosen subject was the fleeting."
