A Night in Acadie
A NIGHT IN ACADIE BY KATE CHOPIN

Published by Complete Freedom Publishing.

A Night in Acadie is a collection of twenty-one short stories, that all take place in the uniquely blended, multicultural Louisiana. This collection is a bold and less traditional treatment of bayou life.

Athénaïse is the tale of a young woman who, after a brief two months of marriage, leaves her husband and moves to New Orleans. Athénaïse comes close to having an affair, but her discovery that she is pregnant awakens her passions and results in her return to her husband, Cazeau.

In stories like Azélie and At Chênière Caminada, characters embrace an unrestrained, passionate love that often produces irrational decisions or pronounced despair.

A Night in Acadie is populated with memorable figures, including the exceedingly lazy Polydore, who fakes a rheumatic attack in order to avoid labor, and the impish Mamouche, who subjects the neighborhood to his mischievous pranks. In the case of these two tricksters, both ultimately prove repentant, thereby restoring order to their society.

Chopin's stories also include rather independent, unconventional women, from Mademoiselle Aurélie in Regret, a remarkably contented spinster who is transformed by her two-week encounter with surrogate motherhood, to A Matter of Prejudice's crotchety Madame Carambeau, who is similarly altered by her experiences nursing a sick American girl.

Throughout these collected short stories, Chopin examines the emergent tensions between individual desires and the communal good. And in somewhat ambivalent terms, Kate Chopin begins exploring the implications of characters' internal awakenings, a theme that would later induce public moral outrage in response to The Awakening.

About the Author

About The Author
Kate Chopin (1850-1904) was an American author of short stories and novels. One of the first books to truthfully write about women's lives, Kate Chopin's The Awakening is considered a quintessential work of Southern literature and a bold foray into early feminism. Aside from The Awakening, Chopin has written numerous short stories, many exploring Cajun, Creole, and Southern identities. Her other popular works include The Story of an Hour and The Storm.
