The uncannily relevant, deliciously clear-eyed collected stories of a critically acclaimed, award-winning American literary treasure (Boston Globe), ripe for rediscoverywith a foreword by Elizabeth Strout.

From her many well-loved novels, Hilma Wolitzernow ninety-one years old and at the top of her gamehas gained a reputation as one of our best fiction writers, who raises ordinary people and everyday occurrences to a new height. (Washington Post) These collected short storiesmost of them originally published in magazines including Esquire and the Saturday Evening Post, in the 1960s and 1970s, along with a new story that brings her early characters into the presentare evocative of an era that still resonates deeply today.

In the title story, a bystander tries to soothe a woman who seems to have cracked under the pressures of her life. And in several linked stories throughout, the relationship between the narrator and her husband unfolds in telling and often hilarious vignettes. Of their time and yet timeless, Wolitzers stories zero in on the domestic sphere with wit, candor, grace, and an acutely observant eye. Brilliantly capturing the tensions and contradictions of daily life, Today a Woman Went Mad in the Supermarket is full of heart and insight, providing a lens into a world that was often unseen at the time, and often overlooked nowreintroducing a beloved writer to be embraced by a whole new generation of readers.
