Their uncertainty makes them do odd things. Driven half-mad by the barking of his neighbor's dogs, Carl dips timidly into native witchcraft--only to jump back out at the worst possible moment. Ione briskly pursues a career as a \"seducer\" (\"A seductress was merely someone who was seductive and who might or might not be awarded a victory. But a seducer was a professional\"), while her dentist husband fends off the generous advances of an African cook. Funny, sad, and deeply knowing, polished throughout to a diamond glitter, \u003ci\u003eWhites\u003c\/i\u003e is a magnificent collection of stories.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eNorman Rush\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of four works of fiction: \u003ci\u003eWhites\u003c\/i\u003e, a collection of stories, and three novels, \u003ci\u003eSubtle Bodies, Mating, \u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eMortals.\u003c\/i\u003e His stories have appeared in \u003ci\u003eThe New Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Paris Review\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eBest American Short Stories\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003ci\u003eMating\u003c\/i\u003e was the recipient of the National Book Award.
