The stories in this extraordinary first collection are concerned with some of the most private and complicated issues: living and dying, growing old, questioning one's beliefs, and recognizing one's own failings. Whether it is an old man struggling to come to terms with an incident in his past or a meddling spinster who is forced to recognize the subtle dance of resentment, in each of these stories a "gentle insurrection" occurs that changes lives forever.

Wise and Wonderful,

This review is from: The Gentle Insurrection and Other Stories (Voices of the South) (Paperback)
Without a doubt, Doris Betts is one of the world's wisest novelist. These stories, like so many telescopes, focus, fine tune, and zoom in on the perceptions and verities of the heart. Ms. Betts not only reminds us of how frail we are in our faults, but--too--how strong we are in our virutes. I have read all her work and find this collection to be--as all her other work is--a proud call to the humanity in all of us. No excuses, no apologies, just humanity. Shining, excellent stories, each of them!
