«The Matisse Stories» is a collection of short stories by A. S. Byatt, published in 1994 by Vintage in paperback (135 pages, in English).
The three stories are inspired by Matisse paintings and unite gaze and emotion: a visit to the hairdresser's, a cleaner fond of knitting, and a lunch in a Chinese restaurant lead to revelations about pain, desire, and creative joy. Byatt delves into how little we know those around us and the tragic consequences of that ignorance.
Will appeal to those who enjoy literary fiction and short stories, as well as admirers of Matisse's painting.
Dame Antonia Susan Duffy, known professionally by her former married name, A. S. Byatt, was an English critic, novelist, poet and short-story writer. Her books have been translated into more than thirty languages.
