John Rolfe Gardiner's short stories anthologized in The Magellan House are nothing similar to either other literary works or each other: they offer penetrating surveys of characters who defy manipulative people around them, and tell of successes and failures alike. 'Fugitive Color' tells of an American painter's teaching year in France destroyed by his students and fellow teachers alike, 'The Morse Operator' tells of a British decipherer of Morse code who is baffled by American military intelligence codes, and other vivid short stories provide an excellent and varied set of challenges and themes.
