About

Ten moving and heartbreaking stories of love, lust, and longing among men and women struggling to find their way in the world. Written in Gilb's spare but throbbing language, each of these haunting stories featuring characters of Mexican-American heritage is crafted with a poetic, aching beauty. The men and women in these stories are often at odds with each other. Like woodcuts, the men are unable to see the women in their lives as little more than crude variations of their actual complexity-symbols of seduction, mystery, and power who ultimately bring about each male character's undoing. At turns powerful and resonant, hopeful and humorous, Woodcuts of Women is a tour de force by one of America's foremost Latino writers.
