I lucked out picking up a copy for $2 in a Thrift shop.
I had a look online and found out Singer wrote at least 197 short stories with at least 12 books of short stories published that do not seem to 'double up' on any of the stories.
The A Crown of Feathers book has 24 stories with copyright shown for the years 1970, 1971, 1972 & 1973 only. Twelve of the stories originally appearing in The New Yorker. The book was first published in 1974.
I have read 6 stories so far. Singer has a very engaging writing style. I am finding the stories entertaining. So far they are about interesting characters with some intriguing event occurring.
