but these relationships can sometimes turn bad and thus also bring us our
deepest sorrows. When that happens they seem almost impossible to heal, in

| Reviewer Praises Collection of Stories about Mormons |
| Lewis Horne's new short story collection, "The House
of James and Other Stories" is about extraordinary ordinary people, mostly
Mormons in Utah and nearby states in the 1950s and '60s, according to
reviewer Martin Naparsteck, and paints a portrait of their "rarefied culture
which has now largely disappeared." Naparsteck says that Horne's stories are
"a carefully sculptured rendering of a culture within a culture and how one
became absorbed by the other," and says of the book, "it's a masterful
accomplishment. Thin, transparent stories that let in the light." |
