Later Stories is the third volume in Alexander Theroux's triad of short fictions, completing a sustained exploration of the short form by one of America's most singular prose stylists. The collection gathers thirteen stories by the National Book Award–nominated author of Three Wogs (1972), Darconville's Cat (1981), An Adultery (1987), and Laura Warholic (2007), as well as Collected Poems (2015) and numerous works of nonfiction.

Theroux's short fiction has appeared in The New York Times, The Boston Globe Magazine, Esquire, Antaeus, Encounter, The Massachusetts Review, The Paris Review, Boston Monthly, Hardscuffle, The Iowa Review, The Mississippi Review, Conjunctions, and Review of Contemporary Fiction. Later Stories stands as a capstone to his work in the form—an essential volume by a writer for whom style is never separable from thought.
