About This Item
New York: Washington Square Press, 1993. Very Good. Houston, whose short stories have appeared in such periodicals as Mirabella and Mademoiselle , now has her first collection, the highlights of which a re "How To Talk to a Hunter," a story selected for inclusion in The Best Am erican Short Stories, 1990 , and "Selway." Though these two stand out, the collection as a whole showcases a fresh, original, strong feminine voice. H ouston is almost Hemingway-esque in her spare prose, yet richly eloquent in her descriptions of the Western sensibility. "How To Talk to a Hunter" ooz es sensuality and masculinity, while at the same time getting inside the fe minine mind in love with a man of few words. Likewise, "Selway" brilliantly shows what the experience of loving an adventurer is like. Houston is a pa rt-time guide in Alaska. This is a strong woman who is wise and cynical but refreshingly optimistic. Her view of man-woman relationships is realistic: wise women get involved with "cowboys" they should know better, but they d on't.
