Description Originally published in 1973, Paulette Jiles's first collection amazed audiences with its rare depth of texture and verbal dexterity.
Her work moves through landscapes that range from Africa to Mexico to Toronto with the ease of a travelling magician.
Her swift, intricate metaphors leave the reader breathless, but her work also manages to be straight, earthy, vernacular, and disturbingly perceptive.
