Garden Party and Other Stories

"There is no doubt that the stories of Katherine Mansfield are literature. That is, their qualities are literary qualities. No one would think of dramatizing these stories, of condensing them into pithy paragraphs, or of making them into a scenario for Douglas Fairbanks....Her stories are literature because they produce effects which can easily be attained by no other art....[H]er stories give the effect of overflowing their frame; an event has a beginning and an end, but the consequences of a situation continue indefinitely like waves of sound or the familiar ripples of a pool."Mansfield, Katherine is the author of 'Garden Party and Other Stories', published 1998 under ISBN 9780140188806 and ISBN 0140188800.
