Review: "Lesley Clement shows that throughout Mavis Gallant's career she increasingly explores the boundaries between visible and invisible worlds as the lines, shapes, and colours suggested by her allusions, analogies, and structures gives her fiction the perspective and fluidity that illuminate the printed page. Alerted to the visual cues in Gallant's fiction by Clement, the reader acquires a heightened understanding of worlds and lives that might otherwise be unseen."--Jacket
