The Collected Stories of Katherine Anne Porter

Despite the enormous success–both critical and popular–of her novel Ship of Fools, Katherine Anne Porter’s reputation as one of America’s most distinguished writers rest chiefly on her superb short stories. This volume brings together the collections Flowering Judas; Pale Horse, Pale Rider; and The Leaning Tower as well as four stories not available elsewhere in book form.
