What writer and critics say about Wifeshopping"God love Steven Wingate's men (and women), losers with cracked hearts and big dreams. Wifeshopping is a collection of stories that traffics in the lies, many and necessary, we tell ourselves about woe and weal, and we're a better people for knowing the difference." Lee K. Abbott, author of All Things, All at Once "Could be the exact masculine counterpart to Pam Houston's Cowboys Are My Weakness. . . You willingly go to that place again where, fascinated, you watch helplessly as yet another man takes a lonely walk through his own imperfect heart." Janis Hallowell, author of The Annunciation of Francesca Dunn "A remarkably focused collection. The inhabitants of Wifeshopping push on, mostly unbeaten, mostly unbowed, still wanting to do the right thing, still confounded by their unfathomable hearts." The Short Review "Wingate's language is carefully crafted yet doesn't call attention to itself... Characters are well drawn, sometimes dysfunctional, usually sympathetic, always interesting." About.com "Wingate’s pieces are remarkably varied in tone, plot and attitude. Each story is a world unto itself. In the end, you believe there is hope for many of these characters despite their painful blunders." Boulder Weekly "Wingate has indeed written a winner: Wifeshopping is a bright new collection from a rising new writer." Boulder Daily Camera "There’s not a dud in the bunch; the entire collection is carried by Wingate's precise, yet natural diction and distinctive, winning voice." NewWest.net |
