From the Publisher:
Calyx Books makes editorial decisions collectively and thrives on conversations about literature. We found Second Sight spellbinding. It is a novel that gathers speed as it is read, and has lasting revelations. We found ourselves pondering domestic violence and the definition of a victim; we discussed hunting and vegetarianism; we talked about the intereaction of one's home communities, the difficulty of reconciling rural and academic languages and the impact of Ernest Hemingway's writing. Rickey Gard Diamond has created an extraordinatry heroine, one who redefines what it means to be a woman.
From the Author:
I grew up spending a great deal of time in the woods with my father, an outdoors editor. One of my earliest conflicts may have been about the unspoken, automatic exclusion of girls from hunting--although my sympathies were with the animals. So Gabrielle, the hunter, surprised me. When I decided to follow her deeper into my imagination, I discovered two ways of hunting, two ways of being in the world really--collecting trophies to prove your dominance or respecting how much your own life costs, your inevitable impact on the earth. Reviewers often remark on my depiction of male violence against women, but I'm writing about many kinds --physical, emotional and, not least of all, economic violence and how American that is.
