«Harmony of the World: Stories» is Charles Baxter's collection of short stories, published by Vintage in paperback (160 pages, in English).
Ten stories that turn the everyday into the uncanny: a woman visits her husband in a care home, an obsessive bodybuilder, a love triangle, and a friendship fraught with resentment. Baxter portrays his characters' desires and frustrations with irony and compassion, in elegant prose with comic twists.
The work originally appeared in 1984 and this Vintage Contemporaries edition was published in 1997. Winner of the Grace Paley Prize for Short Fiction.
For readers of literary fiction and short stories seeking tales about the inner lives of ordinary characters with touches of ironic humour.
Charles Morley Baxter is an American novelist, essayist, and poet.
