The Collected Stories of Jean Stafford is, you guessed it, a collection of short stories by, that's right, Jean Stafford.Stafford wrote three novels but was most famous for the short stories that she wrote in the 1940s, 1950s, and early 1960s. This collection is organized in four groups. The first grouping, "The Innocents Abroad", deals with American visitors to Europe. Second group "The Bostonians" focuses on life in Boston, third group "Cowboys and Indians, and Magic Mountains" revolves around life in Colorado and the West (Stafford in her youth attended the University of Colorado at Boulder), and final grouping "Manhattan Island" features stories set in Big Applesauce. Most of her stories feature female protagonists, many have protagonists who are someplace new or someplace where they don't belong, and many deal with feelings of loneliness or depression.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); }) | |

Angsty Surviving Twin | |
| The Collected Stories of Jean Stafford / int_322f6b34 | comment |
Angsty Surviving Twin: In "The Echo and the Nemesis", Sue and Ramona are university students together, and Sue is accustomed to listen to Martha's ramblings about her field of study (linguistics). Ramona catches Sue by surprise when a random song causes Ramona to remember her twin sister Martha, beloved of the family, an ill girl that died at age 16. (At the end this trope is subverted when it's revealed that Ramona is making Martha up.) | |
