Marquand's Short Stories From 1921 Through 1952

There is no collected edition of Marquand's short stories, though some eleven stories are collected in his miscellany Thirty Years. The following titles come from The Readers' Guide to Periodical Literature, except the last two which come from Thirty Years.

  • Right that Failed--Saturday Evening Post, Jul 1921 Marquand wrote of this "According to my best recollection, the second short story I ever offered an editor was purchased by the Saturday Evening Post in the summer of 1921, and for many years after this initial success I managed to dispose of all the stories I wrote to a few competing sources at gradually rising prices"--See Thirty Years--Forward p. xiv.

Famous quotes containing the words short and/or stories:

    “Modern pictures are, no doubt, delightful to look at. At least, some of them are. But they are quite impossible to live with; they are too clever, too assertive, too intellectual. Their meaning is too obvious, and their method too clearly defined. One exhausts what they have to say in a very short time, and then they become as tedious as one’s relations.”
    —Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    “Long before I wrote stories, I listened for stories. Listening for them is something more acute than listening to them. I suppose it’s an early form of participation in what goes on. Listening children know stories are there. When their elders sit and begin, children are just waiting and hoping for one to come out, like a mouse from its hole.”
    —Eudora Welty (b. 1909)
