5.0 out of 5 stars Last works of a master writer, October 25, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Last Tales (Paperback)

More fictional than Out of Africa, more along the lines of Babette's Feast. Stories are set throughout Europe, sometimes in locales only hinted at through the character's names. Dinesen reminds me of the sudden twists in Borges or Edith Wharton's short stories. 340 pages, 12 stories.

This review is from: Last Tales (Paperback)

Old-fashioned, elegant entertainment and first-rate literature in the bargain. These stories have the magic of fairytales (for grown-ups) and the wisdom of great art.
