What a wonderfully selection of short stories by a regional writer who was many things, a recorder of regional culture, as well as an ecologist and a feminists. This is also a scholarly work and the editor of this collection of stories provides the historical as well as social background to each story. This book id like fine wine; to be taken in small sips and and enjoyed at a leisurely pace.
This collection of short stories was published as part of the University of Nevada Press Western Literature Series. While exhibiting the prejudice of the times (circa 1880-1930), those who enjoy Western Literature in general and storytelling in particular will welcome this collection. The author sympathetically explores life during the time of white settlement of eastern California. She writes of the human response to nature and the inevitability of change.
Strange and interesting tales of Yellow woman and how she traverses the psychological landscape between reality, and the reality of becoming a myth and tradition.
