Críticas
"Hubbard is an assured storyteller and a complex narrative stylist. Her collection of stories is unified in theme--pent-up characters desiring changes that may prove creative or destructive, but which offer release and relief, and which vivify what has been known as 'life.'"--Ploughshares "Susan Hubbard's stories are about the accidents of desire, and the accidents that desire provokes. And they are riveting: they possess a headlong forward momentum which conveys all actions to us without commentary. Mysterious, comic, and menacing, they combine simplicity and complexity to create an effect of great elegance and power."--Charles Baxter The first-place selection of the 1989 Associated Writing Programs' Award in Short Fiction, Walking on Ice was called "mimimalism O. Henrified" by the New York Times Book Review. "Susan Hubbard's stories are about the accidents of desire, and the accidents that desire provokes.
