Marquand's Short Stories From 1921 Through 1952

There is no collected edition of Marquand's short stories, though some eleven stories are collected in his miscellany Thirty Years. The following titles come from The Readers' Guide to Periodical Literature, except the last two which come from Thirty Years.

  • Right that Failed--Saturday Evening Post, Jul 1921 Marquand wrote of this "According to my best recollection, the second short story I ever offered an editor was purchased by the Saturday Evening Post in the summer of 1921, and for many years after this initial success I managed to dispose of all the stories I wrote to a few competing sources at gradually rising prices"--See Thirty Years--Forward p. xiv.
