Paperback. Condizione: Good. The fourteen stories in this collection are set in the sometimes magical, sometimes brutal Southwest: a multi-ethnic, contemporary West that encourages the reader to see beyond the stereotypes of the Old West. All of the stories depict the emotional and psychological costs of the prejudices and injustices of the Old West that have carried over into the present. Gish s vivid storytelling utilizes compelling voices and gritty characters, tracing the recognition of remnant violence, racism, sexism, and environmental pollution carried over from earlier generations. Cutting through class and ethnicity, each story illustrates how a land and its history both determine and are determined by the people who live there.…

Softcover. Condizione: Very Good. Inscribed "To Nancy Ball With All Good Wishes - Bob". Magic realism meets myth in the real and imaginary efforts of two small towns in the Cedar Valley when they face encroaching corruption and evil. Hysteria sets in with the murder of an anonymous girl followed by the abduction of a prominent citizen's daughter. The harassment of a professor's family and of a much respected farmer quickens the plot. Native American prophecy, involving the return of a mystical sturgeon, becomes real one climactic night in a vigilante chase. Whether restitution is possible remains a question for the towns, the reader, the river, and its ghosts. Robert F. Gish is an emeritus professor of English and a university distinguished scholar at the University of Northern Iowa. He is the author of short story collections, biographies, a memoir, and a Trickster allegory along with many scholarly essays and articles about Native American and Western American literature.
