Evan S. Connell is by any measure one of America's greatest living writers. His restraint, concision, and perfect pitch lend themselves stunningly to the short story form. He intuitively senses when to explain and when to let silence stand in speech's stead. His characters--among them, a wanderer back from Spain, the corpulent Mr. Bemis, Katia and her lion--ring true not because the stories are filled with monumental events, but because they center on seemingly insignificant experiences that remain in the mind, imbued with a meaning ever difficult to define. Often we are left to float in their wake, ending in an ellipsis of sorts. Yet by Connell's mastery, even the voices that speak only once resonate beyond the final page.

At first savoring each line and image, or trying to... until I see that every line is a trivial bit of writerly wit... then reading faster, looking for insights, turns of phrase, plot developments... and then faster, taking in whole pages at a time, hoping only for surprises, infelicities, traction of any kind on the smooth thoughtless surface.
