Originally published in 1984, this collection of 14 short stories set in Arkansas and Mississippi went on to win that year’s National Book Award for fiction, confirming Ellen Gilchrist’s place as one of the preeminent literary talents of her generation. Victory Over Japan takes us into the lives of an unforgettable group of Southern women — beautiful, complicated, enchanting, and sometimes dangerous — in and out of bars, marriages, divorces, lovers' arms, and even earthquakes, in an attempt to find happiness, or at least some satisfaction. Throughout these stories, one hears echoes of Flannery O'Connor and Eudora Welty, but Ms. Gilchrist has her own unique literary voice, and it is outrageously funny, moving, tragic, and always appealing. PRAISE: “To say that Ellen Gilchrist can write is to say that Placido Domingo can sing. All you need to do is listen.” —Jonathan Yardley, The Washington Post “She is what they call a natural, writing with passion, authority and a noticeable lack of the self-consciousness that weighs down much of contemporary fiction.” —San Francisco Examiner-Chronicle “Ellen Gilchrist’s achievement is to create lives which refuse to be bound on the page by words and sentences . . . the writing is full of understanding that doesn’t advertise itself as perception or insight.” —London Daily Telegraph

Knowing who you are in Christ is your key to victory in life. Do you often wonder what God thinks of you or whether He thinks of you at all? Do you have a negative self-image--a low opinion of yourself and life in general--that you would love to overcome? You can do it! You can turn your life around and never look back. The one and only key is to understand who God wants you to be. That's the heart of Neil Anderson's breakthrough freedom-in-Christ message. Every last one of us--no matter how much we suffer from low self-esteem, insecurity, or abusive behavior--can be free from our pain and problems, experience victory in Jesus, and become an overcomer in life!
