About the book

Party Stories by Various Authors is a short-story collection for adult readers.

Everyone loves a party! This beautiful hardcover gathers a glittering array of famous celebrations throughout classic literature-from Austen, Tolstoy, and Maupassant to Alan Hollinghurst, Edna O'Brien, Don De Lillo, and Jhumpa Lahiri. Momentous parties have long provided dramatic scenes in fiction, from Natasha's first ball in War and Peace to Lizzie meeting Darcy in Pride and Prejudice to J. Edgar Hoover consorting with Truman Capote in Don De Lillo's 'The Black and White Ball'.

Revelry can be revealing of character, as in Jay Gatsby's extravagant bash in F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Great Gatsby and the decadent partying of the jaded expats in Ernest Hemingway's The Sun Also Rises. More decorous affairs can conceal profound depths, as in Katherine Mansfield's 'The Garden Party' and the parties at the centre of two modernist masterpieces, Virginia Woolf's Mrs Dalloway and James Joyce's 'The Dead'.
