Her collection "Women in Their Beds," won the PEN/Faulkner Award for fiction, the National Books Critics Prize in fiction and the Rea Prize for lifetime achievement.

Over the course of her career she also wrote several novels and novellas, and we have here a collection of the three finest, which have each been published before as separate volumes but which have been out of print and unavailable for many years. They each can be counted among her finest work. "The Son" was first published in 1962, "The Conference of Victims" in 1966. And "The Lights of Earth," first published in 1984, stands easily alongside her greatest achievements. All three are stories about women. In "The Son," Vivian believes men run the world and finds meaning only in erotic love. As she envies her sonOCOs future, and wishing to share it, she seduces him. Naomi, in "Conference of Victims," is thrown nearly out of her mind by her brotherOCOs suicide. Only her need to love keeps her alive. When it was first published, Andre Dubus said of "The Lights of Earth," ?Like her stories, itOCOs masterly. Its central character is a woman, Ilona Lewis, who confronts loss of earthly love.
