The Pasha's Concubine and Other Tales
by Knopf, $6.95. The short stories of Yugoslavia’s Nobel Prize winner amble along like old local gossip, without climaxes, plot contrivances, or attempts to move inside the minds of the characters. One keeps reading because things keep happening, and one gradually comes to respect Mr. Andrié’s subtle, impartial interest in Turks, Jews, Christians, and oddballs.
