The Brushlanders Short stories by Robert Winship

These gritty stories hit hard and deep and present a broad spectrum of character and plot, leaving the reader at one moment laughing over a Southwestern brand of chicanery as delightful as anything out of William Faulkner or Guy Owen, at the next solemnly touched by stories as poignant as the dramas of Horton Foote or the short fiction of Katherine Anne Porter.

"Robert Winship has an abiding and powerful sense of place and, even better, compassion for and curiosity about people—the inhabitants. . . . The ten lean, muscular, dramatic stories of The Brushlanders are a wonderfully appropriate beginning for the Breakthrough Series, setting the highest standards of excellence."—George Garrett, University of Virginia, Co-editor of the Series.

ROBERT WINSHIP was born "west of the Pecos" in Iraan, Texas, the son of a high school principal and part-time rancher. He now lives and writes in Houston and at the family ranch near Junction, Texas. Winship's stories have appeared in such journals as Concho River Review, Hawaii Review, RE Arts and Letters, and The Texas Review.
