Review:
Set in the New Mexican desert, Shakin's book is a collection of startlingly vivid, often witty stories, many informed by a strong sense of the history of the area and the cultural differences of those who live there, as well as their sexual and gender variations. --glbtq, an Encylopedia of Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, Transgendered, and Queer Culture
With a staccato beat and raw sexuality, Ken Shakin writes visceral tales about loneliness, lust, and love with an evocative voice. The prose feels breathless--like a confession-- and uses tense and POV to great effect. The unnamed narrators tell tales of cowboys and Indians, real and imagined, with forlorn longing. Using the desert as setting and metaphor, Shakin's stories are direct like a punch to the gut. --Vincent Diamond, author of Rough Cut
