Vital Signs brings together the collected novellas by a modern master of the form, by a writer who Alice Munro has said ‘often comes as close to the baffling comedy of human experience as a writer can get.’ Elegant, wry, compassionate and mischievous,
Vital Signs will pierce both funny bone and heart.
