The Ceremony and Other Stories

Weldon Kees

In these dazzling stories, Mavis Gallant immerses us in the lives of ordinary people swept up in the upheaval and displacement that followed in the wake of the Second World War. A bitter yet stubbornly pragmatic woman prepares for what promises to be another disastrous Christmas with her mother, her aunt, and her would-be-war-hero uncle. Engaged to another man, a woman travels to Paris with her older lover and his young son. A wife recollects her complicated relationship with the refugee woman who had a brief affair with her husband. Small mercies form the backbone of a friendship between an actress and a police commissioner. A career soldier, now discharged and stranded in France, makes his first adjustments to life as a civilian. In elegant, diamond-sharp prose, Gallant distills the vanities, absurdities, and contradictions that lie at the heart of human behavior and fashions stories of rare power and insight.

GALLANT, Mavis

Contemporary

Stringer is a civilian intelligence agent who is teamed up with a very "Army" West Point captain on a guerilla mission to locate and destroy an enemy supply convoy in Vietnam. He is a failed newspaperman and a dropout from two colleges and one marriage; a man at the edge of his own life who wants to be a the center of things. He ends up in the center of the Vietnam war. There is, he understands, "no possibility of making sense of the whole."
