The irreducible complexity of the very idea of home is especially at issue in the stories Gallant has written about Montreal, where she was born, although she has lived in Paris for more than half a century. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eVarieties of Exile\u003c\/i\u003e, Russell Banks's extensive new selection from Gallant's work, demonstrates anew the remarkable reach of this writer's singular art. Among its contents are three previously uncollected stories, as well as the celebrated semi-autobiographical sequence about Linnet Muir--stories that are wise, funny, and full of insight into the perils and promise of growing up and breaking loose.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMavis Gallant was born in Montreal and worked as a journalist at the Montreal Standard before moving to Europe to devote herself to writing fiction.
