Book of Gargoyles

By Jane Wodening

Fiction. Jane Wodening refers to these stories as having been 'too sad, too ugly, or too grotesque' to include in other collections. Gargoyles ... Each story attests to the absolute clarity and patience of her observation, whether it is of a mother of an accused murderer, the flush on that boy's cheeks, or the devestating dilemma of a writer who has felt the most passionate of kisses and cannot describe it. Because of their clarity, these stories seem etched in stone. We are shown the ugly, but it is depicted with beauty -- Lucia Berlin.
