At once the strangest and most marvelous of Ivy Compton-Burnett?s fictions, Manservant and Maidservant has for its subject the domestic life of Horace Lamb, sadist, skinflint, and tyrant. But it is when Horace undergoes an altogether unforeseeable change of heart that the real difficulties begin. Is the repentant master a victim along with the former slave? And how can anyone endure the memory of the wrongs that have been done? ?A radical thinker, one of the rare modern heretics,? said Mary McCarthy of Ivy Compton-Burnett, in whose austere, savage, and bitingly funny novels anything can happen and no one will ever escape. The long, endlessly surprising conversational duels at the center of Compton-Burnett?s works are confrontations between the unspoken and the unspeakable, and in them the dynamics of power and desire are dramatized as nowhere else.

A New York Review Books Original ?Tolstaya carves indelible people who roam the imagination long after the book is put down.? ? Time Tatyana Tolstaya?s short stories?with their unpredictable fairy-tale plots, appealingly eccentric characters, and stylistic abundance and flair?established her in the 1980s as one of modern Russia?s finest writers. Since then her work has been translated throughout the world. Edna O?Brien has called Tolstaya ?an enchantress.? Anita Desai has spoken of her work?s ?richness and ardent life.? Mixing heartbreak and humor, dizzying flights of fantasy and plunging descents to earth, Tolstaya is the natural successor in a great Russian literary lineage that includes Gogol, Yuri Olesha, Bulgakov, and Nabokov. White Walls is the most comprehensive collection of Tolstaya?s short fiction to be published in English so far. It presents the contents of her two previous collections, On the Golden Porch and Sleepwalker in a Fog , along with several previously uncollected stories. Tolstaya writes of lonely children and lost love, of philosophers of the absurd and poets working as janitors, of angels and halfwits. She shows how the extraordinary will suddenly erupt in the midst of ordinary life, as she explores the human condition with a matchless combination of unbound imagination and unapologetic sympathy.
