George McWhirter grounds his delightful characters in the real,
while his sharp wit and creative scenarios border on the
fantastical: a woman adopts a dolphin-man; an Irish madam runs a
railroad bordello in the desert; a devoted husband drives his
childless, belly-dancing wife to Greek tavernas with the ambition
to quicken their lagging fertility; a Kurdish barber has a cure for
hair loss, but not the loss of his wife and family in Iraq; a
Mexican campesino swears his machete-severed ear is a sea shell
tuned to the Pacific Ocean. The Gift of Women is about religion and
sexuality, the surreal and the magical, a tale-telling of earthy
and incendiary women, capable of setting a man, a valley, and an
entire island on fire.
