First lineThey were closing the drugstore, and Alfred Higgins, who had just taken off his whitejacket, was putting on his coat and getting ready to go home.' All the Years of Her Life' Great linesHolding out her small, gloved hand in his palm, he patted it with his other hand, and they both laughed as though he had done something foolish but charming. The whole city was quieter now, the streets flowed away from them without direction, but there was always the hum underneath the silence like something restless and stirring and really touching them, as the soft, spring night air of the streets touched them, and at a store door he pulled her into the shadow and kissed her warmly, and when she didn't resist he kept on kissing her.'
One Spring Night' Last lineSitting alone at his table in the cool evening, his overcoat wrapped around him, and the black hat on, he did not look the same at all. It was the first time he had worn the hat in France.' Now That April's Here'. Morley Callaghan's StoriesCOMMENTARY Stories that stickA funny thing happened when I read Morley Callaghan's Stories recently. It was atleast my second reading for these stories, and I saw this time how veryold-fashioned they were. But that's not what was strange.At the same time, Iwas reading a book of stories by, written a decade or longer beforemost of Callaghan's. I was alternating, reading one of his, then one ofhers.
Mansfield is known for being one of the revolutionaries oftwentieth-century storytelling, replacing the old rise-and-fall of linearnarrative with many small, seemingly unconnected events that accumulateinto an overall impression. Callaghan writes as though this revolutionnever took place, with intensely emotional, involved relations betweencharacters coming to a sharp point. He has no problem with spelling out acharacter's feelings at any particular juncture, or even spelling out the moral of thetale. So old-fashioned.

So out of touch with the modernist trend.But that's not thefunny part either.The strange thing isthat after I'd read a lot of both authors, it was Callaghan's stories thatstayed in my mind. It was his directly related characters that I foundmyself thinking about. I have a feeling that—however much I or othermoderns can deride his verging-on-corny style—some of his most affectingstories will stay with me a long time, whether I want them to or not.Actually there aretwo kinds of Callaghan stories. First, the short, moving stories that takeplace almost in real-time, usually involving poor folks involved in somemoral dilemma. The woman wanting to buy a hat which will displease herhusband because they can't afford it. The young man trying to avoidintroducing his affluent girlfriend to his poor parents who had sacrificedto put him through school.

The grocer watching a boy he suspects ofplanning to steal an apple. Two destitute people vying for a dollar droppedby a drunk. Simple possessions—a baseball cap, a kimono, a pair of shoes—areoften central, representing the characters' hopes and disappointments.There is little irony in these stories, no sneering at the lessadmirable characters.The mundane titlescould be taken for titles of Norman Rockwell paintings: 'All theYears of Her Life', 'A Cap for Steve', 'The ShiningRed Apple', 'A Very Merry Christmas', 'Very SpecialShoes', 'Two Fisherman', 'The Two Brothers'.The stories however arefar from nostalgic or sentimental.
My favourite, 'TwoFishermen', for example, is about a small-town reporter who befriendsthe visiting hangman and then is caught in a local protest against theman's work.These are theclassic stories—simply told, but intense, and with surprisingdepths—that at one time won Callaghan comparisons with Chekhov. Except for the NorthAmerican and European settings, they could be taken for translations fromRussian tales. (Not surprisingly, Callaghan's work was very popular in theSoviet Union.)At times however,the author's telling is overdone, perhaps attributable to the storieshaving been written for popular consumption in magazines of the day. Onestory 'Father and Son', for instance, goes on like this:She could not helplooking for a long time at Greg Henderson, wondering what had happenedin his life. He was hesitating awkwardly there at the door.and thelight was all on his worried face that looked scared and ashamed: it waspuzzling to Mona to see him so reticent and lonely looking, because sheknew he had always been full of eagerness, giving all of himself firstto one thing and then to another, full of love and then getting hurt,and then hard and unyielding and never consenting to go anyone else'sway.It goes on in thisvein. Such overheated prose, in any era, should have been trimmed orreplaced to help the reader learn all this about the characters withoutbeing told directly. The plot itself is not bad, concerning a man whocomes to visit a boy who never learns the man is his father.When he eschews thisoverly descriptive approach though, such stories by Callaghan deliver rawsentiment effectively.
He homes in on a turning point in someone's life,most commonly the moment when some—often a young person—is suddenly made aware of howthe world really is. And he makes us see it too.That's the tenor ofthe majority of Callaghan's stories. The other kind of Callaghan storythough is so different, it might have been written by another author.These are usually longer tales. Not at all intense.
As thoughhe is dispassionately reporting the salient points of his characters'lives. In stories like 'Last Spring They Came Over', 'ACocky Young Man', 'Now That April's Here' and 'A Girlwith Ambition', he follows characters he doesn't seem to empathizewith or depict from the inside. Which is odd as they are characters youwould think Callaghan would know best—being, like him, journalists,authors or artists.Such reportage ismore in line with the modernist attitude. But even here Callaghan displaysscarcely an ironic note. He isn't trying to create an impression. He'sjust saying, 'Here's an interesting person I once ran across.
This isall I knew of him—what do you make of it?' These stories usuallyend without a crisis having been passed or a conclusion reached—the oddcharacter just moves on and we lose touch. Much as happens in real life.And these stories also work.So Callaghan canwrite in this detached fashion when he wants to. But he is moved to writethe other kind of story more.I like both kinds.Callaghan's 1959introduction to Morley Callaghan's Stories in its entirety is asfollows:Many other stories I have written might have been included in this book, but these are the ones that touch times and moods and people I like to remember now. Looking back on them I can see that I have been concerned with the problems of many kinds of people but I have neglected those of the very, very rich. I have a story that begins, 'Once upon a time there were two millionaires,' but I haven't finished it yet.Now, because of his stories, we also have those times, moods and people to remember vicariously through his writing.As far as I know, he never did finish that story about millionaires.
And we don't miss it.— EricCOMMENTARY.
