Tale for the Mirror, by Hortense Calisher. One of the rare mistresses of the short story in a three-star excursion to Exurbia-on-Hudson.

The Letters of Oscar Wilde, edited by Rupert Hart-Davis. This first complete collection reveals the thoughtful side of a man whose life often seemed dedicated to the unimportance of being earnest.
