Robison, Mary An Amateur's Guide to the Night: Stories (Nonpareil Book, 37.)
David R Godine January 1, 1990 0-87923-802-X / 9780879238025 Paperback Very Good
The writing is cool and detached, controlling a breathtaking compassion. He r subjects and characters, mostly family members, are right out of life. An Amateur's Guide to the Night continues Robison's practice of penetrating t he heart. There is not one story in this collection that does not evoke an emotional response. . . It's an intimate, enriching experience. --San Franc isco Chronicle Review These thirteen stories are glimpses from a moving train into lit parlors, dinettes, bedrooms and dens. Though the rider sees only fragments, he can intuit essentials from posture, from motion, and see the space that characters inhabit. Think of Robison as the engineer, blowing the whistle, calling the stops and starts; invisible when you want to ask her why we're stalled here in the middle of nowhere, between stations, jobs, relationships and decisions. Like Ann Beattie, Robison shunts the reader off the mainline to a limbo where everyone waits for something to begin or end. As narrative, the stories are inconclusive; as commentaries on the way Americans live now, they're absolute and final. --Los Angeles Times
