Dagoberto Gilb is an acknowledged master of the short story, the
winner of the PEN/Hemingway Award, and a PEN/Faulkner finalist for
his debut collection, The Magic of Blood, and was awarded a
Guggenheim Fellowship for his fiction writing. His critically
acclaimed collection Woodcuts of Women is now available in
paperback and features ten moving and heartbreaking stories of
lust, love, and longing among men and women struggling to find
their way in the world. Written in Gilb's spare, humid language,
each of these haunting stories is crafted with a poetic, aching
beauty. At turns powerful and resonant, hopeful and humorous,
Woodcuts of Women is a tour de force by one of America's foremost
Latino writers. "The sheer intensity and bravado of [Gilb's] vision
make this collection succeed." -- Jean Thompson, The New York Times
Book Review "Lonely, tough stories -- stories that force us to
confront what's difficult in us, and in the people we love." --
Adrienne Miller, Esquire "Gilb's stories read like verbal woodcuts
deliberately unrefined and carefully unadorned, clear in their
intent but without undue elaboration...." -- Sean Glennon, The
Hartford Courant ."..Gilb writes of the gritty passions of man for
women, grand delusions and tender mercies...." -- Oscar C.
Villalon, San Francisco Chronicle
