The Miracle of the Bread and Other Stories

The second volume in an ongoing series of books, this collection gathers together twenty-four stories drawn from the full span of Porges' fifty-year writing career. The wide variety of themes and genres on display in this landmark collection illustrate the versatility of an author on the top of his form. This book includes several previously unpublished stories, in addition to such classic tales as "Masterpiece," "Stalemate" and "The Black Tyrant," which have never been reprinted since their original publication in magazines.
