Stories
The 52-story volume is an amalgamation of the short fiction published by New Directions in 1961. These works first appeared in The Knife of the Times and Other Stories (1932) and Life Along the Passaic River (1938), as well as 20 uncollected stories listed under the heading “Beer and Cold Cuts” published in Make Light of It: Collected Stories of William Carlos Williams (1950).

The collection also includes “The Farmers’ Daughters” - his longest short story - which was completed in 1961 and the only work that had not been included in previous collections. [3] The volume includes an Introduction by biographer and critic Van Wyck Brooks. [4]
Literary critic Robert F. Gish writes:
It is clear that the fifty-two stories that compose these four volumes of short stories point to the 1920s and 1930s, prolific decades for Williams - twenty years in which short stories occupied a significant part of his attention.” [5]
