A Fairly Good Time and Green Water, Green Sky by Mavis Gallant

4.0

4 for Fairly Good Time and 4.5 for Green Water, Green Sky, which read like the 1950s offspring of Edith Wharton and Jean Rhys. The shift in tone between the two was notable, with the longer Fairly Good Time more sardonic and disjointed, and the shorter tale more compressed and quietly heartbreaking. Another Canadian woman writer who deserves more attention (thanks NYRB!)
