- Summary:
- In Dorsey's distinctive spare prose, these polished gems of realism and surrealism lay bare and minutely examine individuals' relationships to themselves, each other, and the landscape through which they move -- a landscape that is at once powerful, strange and strangely familiar. In sharp contrast to the raw and sometimes harsh realities depicted, Dorsey's stories are couched in beautiful, lucent language that is lyrical and relentless.
