Customer Reviews

Utterly believable, interesting characters

I read this book 3 yrs ago and have been waiting anxiously for Mr. Huston to write something else. He masterfully, deftly renders characters. Jane would have been 2 dimensional and awful in the hands of any other writer, but she seemed wonderful and alive and completely insane. "Freud's Big Trouble" was my favorite, though; it seemed one of the most complete and well done short stories I've read in a long while. I'm very tempted to compare Mr. H. with Flannery O'Connor, and to my mind there would be no higher compliment. Does anybody know when/if he will publish again?
