Description
Described by Anne Tyler as �the undisputed master of the short story form,� Peter Taylor imbued his stories with a powerful sense of the conflicts between the old rural society and the increasingly urbanized South. Ranging in subject from the story of the exposure of a respected doctor�s infidelity by the family�s longtime cook to the tale of elderly siblings whose party for young people exposes the town�s class divisions, the stories often explore family dynamics within the larger society of the South. Peter Taylor was�the author of eight short story collections and three novels, including�A Summons to Memphis, for�which he was awarded the Pulitzer Prize.

He is a master.��Geoffrey Wolff, Newsweek��[Taylor] has achieved utter mastery in short fiction.��Jonathan Yardley, The Washington Post Book World
