Paperback. Zustand: Good. In these ten stories, Charles Baxter shows his genius in making his characters' everyday sufferings--and occasional fragile joys--seem utterly unprecedented, even as he reminds us, gently and with a sly comic twist, that everything they feel is only the collateral damage of being human.

Long admired and now once more available in paperback, Harmony of the World is a masterpiece of lucidity and compassion.…
