Summary:

"Although Giono is well known as a novelist, he has received less attention as an author of short stories. This volume, part of Les Récits de la demi-brigade - a collection which illustrates in an exemplary manner the accomplished art with which the author has appropriated the genre - is not limited to it and also addresses texts from Solitude of Pity , of L'Eau vive and of Faust au village , as well as brief stories published outside of any collection. Giono himself felt that he was 'not very comfortable with short stories' and considered himself more talented for a long novel than for a 'small text.' He hardly uses the word short story , and some of his brief stories could also be read as tales. This set of texts, however, deserves examination of its own constraints and its specific successes. The major interest of the studies collected in this volume is to show how the narrative economy of the short story, through the aesthetic and thematic choices it entails, ultimately led him to renew his writing and reconstruct his image as a writer." -- www.lettresmodernesminard.org/giono.
