Drawn from the last twenty-five years, each story or memoir reveals a transforming moment that leads to an understanding of a complex world. The variety of ways in which these writers, both emerging and established storytellers, evoke this realization creates a quality of surprise and even of suspense. Authors include William Trevor, Tennessee Williams, Elizabeth Spencer, and Wendell Berry.
