In By Any Other Name,' Ivan gets into some serious male bonding with her Uncle Rob, in 'The Curse' a cousin's stepdaughter helps Ivan get over her lifelong dread of buying tampons and in the title story she does her best to fix what's wrong in the world by telling the homophobe in the barber's seat next to her to shut up.'
Reviews
These stories are elegant and homespun, light and piercing, straightforward with a twist. Ivan Coyote unsettles and reassures with a single, skilled stroke.
