Apartment in Athens by Glenway Wescott( Book )
35 editions published between 1945 and 2007 in 9 languages and held by 1,218 libraries worldwide
Like Wescott's extraordinary novella The Pilgrim Hawk (which Susan Sontag described in The New Yorker as belonging "among the treasures of 20th-century American literature"), Apartment in Athens concerns an unusual triangular relationship. In this story about a Greek couple in Nazi-occupied Athens who must share their living quarters with a German officer, Wescott stages an intense and unsettling drama of accommodation and rejection, resistance and compulsion - an account of political oppression and spiritual struggle that is also a parable about the costs of closeted identity.
The grandmothers : a family portrait by Glenway Wescott( Book )
25 editions published between 1927 and 1996 in English and held by 1,187 libraries worldwide

The pilgrim hawk : a love story by Glenway Wescott( Book )
38 editions published between 1940 and 2011 in 5 languages and held by 720 libraries worldwide
This powerful short novel describes the events of a single afternoon. Alwyn Towers, an American expatriate and sometime novelist, is staying with a friend outside of Paris, when a well-heeled, itinerant Irish couple drops in - with Lucy, their trained hawk, a restless, sullen, disturbingly totemic presence. Lunch is prepared, drink flows. A masquerade, at once harrowing and farcical, begins. A work of classical elegance and concision, The Pilgrim Hawk stands with Faulkner's The Bear as one of the finest American short novels: a beautifully crafted story that is also a poignant evocation of the implacable power of love.
