Stewart O'Nan is one of the most highly acclaimed fiction writers of his
generation, selected by Granta as one of the Best Young American
Novelists and hailed by The New York Times as a master. Grove Press is
proud to issue his award-winning debut In the Walled City in
paperback. Winner of the prestigious Drue Heinz Prize in 1993 --
selected by a panel chaired by Tobias Wolff -- O'Nan's collection In
the Walled City features twelve stories that delve into the lives and
souls of an astonishing range of characters, from an old Chinese grocer

madness. Intimate and generous, these stories brilliantly illuminate the
connections that bind us and the obligations and sorrows of love.
