"...Robin Becker draws a spare, unsentimental portrait of a lesbian 'in the middle of her life'....[W]hether she is reflecting on her sexual and social identity, or on the 1950s Philadelphia of her girlfriend, on family links to the Eastern Europe shtetls, or on New Mexico mesas, Wyoming, Italy, and France, or finding ways to name her own loneliness, the quest Becker describes is one of endless self-transformation and surrender....It is Becker's very undefendedness that makes this collection so strong and appealing."Becker, Robin is the author of 'All-American Girl' with ISBN 9780822955801 and ISBN 0822955806.
