( ) I don't think one has lived until one has had the chance to read some really fine short stories. If you like Mavis Gallant or O. Henry or Chekhov or Jane Rule, it is easier to realize that it is not worth it to be obsessed uniquely by novels. This is another rich form that is worthwhile to look at. Being a Canadian, I actually was scared by some of the stark reality in these stories. ... As in, is this what it is really like to live in Canada? I don't think I can deal with reality that is this direct and in your face. But Jane Rule keeps you coming back because here vision of the world has no b.s. -- whatsoever. Once she's done with looking at something or somebody, there is no possibility left for lies or evading the truth. She is an all-wise seer. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

The eponymous heroine "Dulce" is a self-proclaimed muse, witch, whore, "preying lesbian," and "devouring mother" who has a profound effect on the lives of the women and men around her. "His Nor Hers" tracks the unraveling of a marriage--with unexpected results. "The Real World" explores the moral universe of a female mechanic who creates an unconventional family. In "A Matter of Numbers," a divorced math professor falls in love with her twenty-year-old student. And the title story introduces two women--one widowed, one divorced--who rediscover romance aboard a cruise ship. Whether she's turning the spotlight on unfulfilled wives, frustrated husbands, friends, or secret lovers, Inland Passage is Jane Rule at her most insightful.
