Library Journal Reviews
Remember the chilling excitement of reading Jackson's "The Lottery" for the first time? You'll have that same experience over and over again with this new collection, which offers more than 50 unpublished and uncollected works drawn from Jackson's papers at the Library of Congress and coedited by two of her children. Not only have these pieces never appeared before in book form, but many have never appeared at all, including 21 of the 29 stories and 14 of the 15 essays and lectures. With 2015 marking the 50th anniversary of Jackson's death and 2016 the centenary of her birth, expect a blizzard of works about Jackson, including a big biography from book critic Ruth Franklin.
