Description

Gilbert's spry stories roam from Wyoming to New York City, from Minnesota to Texas. Cowboys, strippers, magicians--her characters are "everyday people whose...rich exterior lives mask simple, if brave, hopes and dreams" (Detroit Free Press). "A killer collection," said Frederick Barthelme. Muscular and insightful, authentic and uproarious, these stories mark the debut of a major new literary talent.
