Title: Pale Horse, Pale Rider: The Short Stories of Katherine Anne Porter
Author: Katherine Anne Porter
ISBN: 9780141195315
Publisher: Penguin Books
Published: 2011
Binding: Paperback
Language: English
Publisher Description:
Pale Horse, Pale Rider comprises three of the Pulitzer Prize-winning author's short novels or long stories, as Porter - who didn't hold with the term "novella" - called her pieces. In the masterly "Noon Wine, " set on a Texas farm circa 1900, she offers an unforgettable study of evil. According to Reynolds Price the tale "can stand shoulder to shoulder with anything in Tolstoy or Chekhov." Both "Old Mortality" and the title story center on Porter's fictional counterpart, Miranda: a resilient Southern heroine who, as Mary Gordon observed, is in "the precarious position of a woman who must earn her way with no one behind her to break fall."
