Reseña del libro "jackalope dreams (en Inglés)"
The departed men in her life still have plenty to say to Corey. Her father, a legendary rodeo cowboy who punctuated his lifelong pronouncements with a bullet to his head, may be the loudest. But in this story of Montana--a story in which the old West meets the new and tradition has its way with just about everyone--it is Corey's voice we listen to. In this tour de force of voices big and small, sure and faltering, hers comes across resonant and clear, directing us to the heart of the matter.Winner of the 2008 Western Heritage Award, Jackalope Dreams plays out against the mythology of the Old West--a powerful amalgam of ranching history, Marlboro Men, and train robbery reenactments. This story of the newly orphaned, spinsterish Corey is a sometimes comical, sometimes poignant tale of coming-of-age a little late. As she tries to recapture an old dream of becoming a painter--of preserving some modicum of true art amid the virtual reality of modern Montana--Corey finds herself figuring in other dramas as well, other, younger lives already at least as lost as her own.Mary Clearman Blew is the author or editor of numerous books, including three books of short stories and the memoir This Is Not the Ivy League (Nebraska 2011). She is a professor of English at the University of Idaho and has twice won the Pacific Northwest Booksellers Award, once in fiction and once in nonfiction, as well as the Western Literature Association's Distinguished Achievement Award.
