âBeautifully crafted stories from one of our most honored authorsâ (The New York Times), Ron Hansenâs 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 âextraordinaryâ (The New York Times Book Review) and âwise and smartâ (The Washington Post).
In She Loves Me Not, the subjects of Hansenâs scrutiny range from Oscar Wilde to murder to dementia to romance, and display Hansen at his storytelling best: These are âunforgettable stories, each utterly different from the one beforeâŠ.This is writing that slows the breathingâ (San Francisco Chronicle). Readers will thrill to Hansenâs 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 Hansenâs place as a major American writer. This breathtaking collection âshould put him on the short-story mapâ (USA TODAY).
She Loves Me Not contains an excerpt from Hansenâs new novel, The Kid, to be published in fall, 2016.
