Stacy Aumonier

https://theoviebooks.wordpress.com/ - Short Story "What was to be the Sunday joint to-day? He was already beginning to feel those first delightful pangs of hunger, the just reward of exercise in fresh air." There is no such thing as a typical Aumonier story or a typical Aumonier character. Some of his stories are comedies; some are moving stories of missed opportunity or loss. Some are war stories. He wrote with equal empathy about the very poor, the very rich, men, women, movers and shakers, hobos, pompous husbands, shallow wives, war heroes, deserters, idealists, thieves. All his stories have in common is a great ease of style and "a sense of line that most of us should envy," as Galsworthy put it. Even Aumonier's least significant stories—ones that he wrote purely as entertainments—are written with remarkable fluidity and wit. First published 1929 Ovi Magazine: Published May 2022
