Reseña del editor:
Beyond the Breakwater brings together 26 outstanding short stories, spanning half a century, by an acclaimed master of the genre, O.E. Middleton. While Middleton has been linked with the masculine realist New Zealand tradition of Frank Sargeson and Roderick Finlayson, Beyond the Breakwater also contains a diverse range of international settings and characters, from Berthe Albrecht's postwar experiences of Paris in For Once in Your Life to the secular London Eucharist of The Doss-house and the Duchess. At his best, Middleton's attention to detail and fully realized context brings to mind earlier masters, such as Yukio Mishima and Guy de Maupassant. In a typical Middleton story, carefully observed details build an impressionistic platform on which the destinies of his characters unravel.
