"Beautifully crafted stories from one of our most honored authors"
(The New York Times), Ron Hansen's She Loves Me Not is an acclaimed
collection of stunning fiction, three decades in the writing.
Ron Hansen has long been celebrated as a master of both the novel and
the short form. His stories have been called "extraordinary" (The New
York Times Book Review) and "wise and smart" (The Washington Post).
In She Loves Me Not, the subjects of Hansen's scrutiny range from
Oscar Wilde to murder to dementia to romance, and display Hansen at his
storytelling best: These are "unforgettable stories, each utterly
different from the one before....This is writing that slows the
breathing" (San Francisco Chronicle). Readers will thrill to Hansen's
masterful attention to the smallest and most telling details, even as he
plunges straight into the deepest recesses of desire, love, fury, and
loss. Magisterial in its scope and surprising in its variety, She Loves
Me Not shows an author at the height of his powers and confirms
Hansen's place as a major American writer. This breathtaking collection
"should put him on the short-story map" (USA TODAY).
She Loves Me Not contains an excerpt from Hansen's new novel, The
Kid, to be published in fall, 2016.
