From Library Journal
This is a reprint of the collection published in 1961 as The Farmer's Daughters. LJ's reviewer observed that "these are not short stories in the accepted technical sense of the word. Call them rather vignettes for some are less than two pages long, or even diagnoses for they reflect to a great extent the author's experiences as a practicing physician who has treated man not only as an object for the application of drugs but also as material for the work of art" (LJ 12/1/61). This edition also contains a new introduction by Sherwin B. Nuland, M.D., who offers a doctor's perspective on Williams. Essential for all libraries.

3.0 out of 5 stars
Good, but stick with the poetry,
By Matt "reader" (Jamestown, NY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Collected Stories of William Carlos Williams (New Directions Paperbook) (Paperback)
Williams was a prolific writer who ventured into a variety of forms, from the formal poetry of his early craft, to the enjambed pile-up of images he made famous with poems such as "The Red Wheelbarrow", to the drama, fiction, and short stories. He tried in his short stories to create the same objective feel which works so well in his poems. However, the short story is a different form, and the mock reader of the stories does not draw the reader into the story in the way it works whimsically in his poetry. My advice: stick with the poems.
