Alligator Dance: Stories (Southwest Life And Letters)

The Story

The richly textured stories in this collection, which won Peery comparisons to Eudora Welty, Ellen Gilchrist, Willa Cather, and Jayne Anne Phillips, depict people trying to understand the mysteries of a place in which they have themselves and to apply that understanding to their lives. Whether the territory is cultural, sexual, or social, it always leads back to one place--the heart.
