I'd Recommend This As A Starting Place For Those Wanting To Get Into Louis Auchincloss

The Anniversary is one of Mr. Auchincloss' best collections, with the title entry being in my estimation the greatest story he has written in the last twenty years. I've read my share of works by this author, and frankly enjoyable as they are while they are being read, they too often blend in together and are forgotten once the book is concluded, but happily The Anniversary contains a number of short stories that linger in my memory. This is the anthology I'd suggest as a good starting place for an exploration of this fine teller of tales.

Agreed...fresh material

Mr Auchincloss has been very repetitive with themes and plots with his last few novels and short stories. This book provides some fresh stories, a few with some surprising twists. If you like Auchincloss but were getting bored, this is worth a try

Back on Track!

Mr. Auchincloss' elegant prose enchants once again. Gone is a recent tendency to repeat themes; these stories seem fresher and better thought out than his last collection, The Atonement. A must for the discriminating reader.
