But it is in her short stories that her extraordinary talents--as a fabulist, feminist, social critic, and weaver of tales--are most penetratingly evident. This volume presents Carter's considerable legacy of short fiction gathered from published books, and includes early and previously unpublished stories. From reflections on jazz and Japan, through vigorous refashionings of classic folklore and fairy tales, to stunning snapshots of modern life in all its tawdry glory, we are able to chart the evolution of Carter's marvelous, magical vision.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAngela Carter\u003c\/b\u003e (1940 -1992) wrote nine novels and numerous short stories, as well as nonfiction, radio plays, and the screenplay for \u003cb\u003eNeil Jordan's\u003c\/b\u003e 1984 movie \u003cb\u003eThe Company of Wolves\u003c\/b\u003e, based on her story.
