BLACK GLASS

First published in 1998 by Henry Holt, Putnam's are reissuing the author's critically-acclaimed, beloved BLACK GLASS, a collection of vintage Fowler short stories with a new introduction by the author in which she muses on her uncommonly happy childhood - rare for a writer! - and how that allows her to find beauty in an increasingly violent contemporary world.

In the fifteen gemlike tales that follow, Fowler lets her wit roam wild, turning accepted norms inside out and fairy tales upside down - proving once again she is among our most subversive writers.
