Winner of the 2012 Frank O'Connor International Short Story Award

'Outstanding . . . Englander shows an unerring ear for dialogue' Independent on Sunday

Nathan Englander is one of the most acclaimed writers of his generation.

In these stories, deep tragedy rubs shoulders with sharp comedy. Relationships and brought to the brink, and choices are made that change lives for ever. There is vengeance and violence, coming of age and coming to terms.

Beautiful and courageous, funny and achingly sad, What We Talk About When We Talk About Anne Frank is a remarkable collections by a writer grappling with the great questions of modern life.

'Englander has written a fine collection, as intricately patterned across its length as a novel' Sunday Times
