We think of Honoré de Balzac as the author of long and fully upholstered novels, stitched together into the magnificent visionary document called 'The Human Comedy'. Yet along with the full-length fiction within 'The Human Comedy' stand many shorter works, among the most brilliant and forceful of his fictions. Drawn always to the tradition of oral storytelling - to the human voice telling of experience - and to the kinds of reactions produced in the listeners to stories, Balzac repeatedly dramatizes both telling and listening, and the interactions of men and women around the story told.
