Reprise collects three volumes of short stories, bringing together half a century of Delbanco’s writing for the first time.Nicholas Delbanco has been many things: a student of John Updike; a teacher of noteworthy authors like Bret Easton Ellis, Andrea Barrett, and Jesmyn Ward; and even, for a while, the next-door neighbor of James Baldwin. Across a career spanning nearly six decades, Delbanco has published more than thirty books of fiction and nonfiction and edited a dozen more. He is the recipient of numerous awards. The stories collected here represent a sort of retrospective, capturing the restless and boundlessly intelligent Nicholas Delbanco at key moments in his artistic life.With painterly eye for detail and texture, Reprise offers readers an invitation to glimpse American literature at its most elegant and graceful.

Praise for Nicholas Delbanco"Nicholas Delbanco writes like an inspired maniac, with a brilliant outpouring of image and idea." —Hudson Review"Delbanco’s book of narrative riffs and meditations is a wonder. He may know more than just about anyone about the serious play that it literary life, and he writes of it with great spirit and flair.” —Lorrie Moore“Delbanco, like Malraux, has extended his method to explore a different context; a sensibility of enormous sophistication stretches itself to take in both the private and public domains . . . An excellent writer is among us, and if we neglect him . . .we shall have to apologize to posterity.” —John Leonard, New York Times“The wisdom of a superb, experienced writer and inspired teacher is here distilled for our pleasure. We have much to learn from Delbanco’s maturity, broad perspective and erudition, his devotion to literature and to all those who struggle to achieve it.” —Philip Lopate
