Escapade
The expectations of the middle classes are the target of this wickedly written volume of tales. A general stops at nothing to get a promotion, only to meet his match in his rival's wife. A couple fall in love at a drinks party yet consummating their desire proves more and more frustrating. And a man is asked to spy on a beautiful foreign agent - but things are not quite as they seem. Subtle wit and broad farce walk joyously hand in hand through Escapade.
The Mark of the Beast
This volume of short stories is for the connoisseur of acutely observed foibles of human nature. In The Mark of the Beast, a timid salesman throws caution to the winds while on a trip to Paris. A wealthy property owner goes undercover to discover how his business is really run. And two school friends become rivals for the love of the same woman. Treachery, jealousy and foolishness soon begin to unravel the threads of seemingly respectable lives.

Reconsidering Elizabeth Bowen’s Shorter Fiction
Reconsidering Elizabeth Bowen’s Shorter Fiction: Dead Reckoning focuses on Elizabeth Bowen's representations of violence against the self and others. Heather Levy examines the complicity of landscape and the implications of mayhem, murder, and suicide in The Collected Stories of Elizabeth Bowen (2006) edited by Angus Wilson and The Bazaar and Other Stories (2008) edited by Alan Hepburn. It introduces five previously unpublished short story fragments and two nearly complete stories from The Elizabeth Bowen Collection at The Harry Ransom Research Center. Levy argues that Bowen's shorter fiction is a quixotic celebration of moral transgression, crime without punishment, and suicide without mourners. Bowen's compassionate response to offenders and violence anticipated the Perpetrator Trauma movement in the United States. Her innovations with the freedom of the short story produced an uncanny narration of violence. This book integrates the entirety of the scholarship on Bowen's short stories in a clear and original manner and offers a synthetic and compelling excavation of Bowen's unpublished short stories.
