• W2762689910 abstract "Reviews 405 development in the present to close out opportunities to experience wildness in the future.” In an eighteen-page closing homily, “History, Economics, and the Future,” he describes “hear[ing] the delicate waterfall of the canyon wren’s song,” and reminds us that “To calculate stream power, you sit at a desk and put numbers in a computer. To appreciate stream power, you stand on the banks of the river in Lamar Canyon in the middle of May.” In Mountains & Mesas, it is easy to appreciate. O. ALAN WELTZIEN Western Montana College Western American Novelists, Volume 1: Walter Van Tilburg Clark, Dan Cushman, H. L. Davis, Vardis Fisher, A. B. Guthrie, Jr., William Humphrey, and Dorothy M. Johnson. By Martin Kich. (New York: Garland Publishing, 1995. 876 pages, $120.00.) This new volume by Martin Kich is not a collection of essays but a comprehensive bibliography of writings by and about each of the seven authors named in the title. In addition to novels, the primary listing includes other genres and publication data for later editions and reprints, but it does not describe individual works. The sec­ ondary bibliography is annotated with detailed summaries for mono­ graphs, chapters, and major articles. Full-length books receive chapter -by-chapter summaries, so extensively treated that a reader won­ ders occasionally if the synopsis is meant to substitute for the origi­ nal critique. For instance, the annotation for Paul Bryant’s Twayne study of H. L. Davis takes ten pages, and Thomas W. Ford’s volume on A. B. Guthrie for the same publisher nearly thirteen. Although these examples are extreme, other book summaries at five or six pages are still more detailed than necessary. The material is well organized. Primary works are arranged chronologically by genre with uncollected titles listed separately. Secondary items are alphabetized categorically by type (Books, Items in Books [including Chapters and Briefer References], Articles [including Interviews], Book Reviews, and so forth). Bold section headings should make entries easy to locate, but the scant Table of Contents (providing only the authors’ names) and the lack 406 Western American Literature of an index necessitate hunting for specific items. This compilation is best suited for readers intending to read through it page by page and perhaps tab sections of special interest to themselves. A brief Preface explains that the selected novelists have been chosen because they “came to prominence in the 1930’s, 1940’s, and 1950’s.” Each listing is preceded by a short, useful account of the author’s literary importance, major points of critical attention, and several plausible topics for further research. Although no bibliography is ever complete, Kich has scoured the territory well for germane writings, including stray items as well as the more important primary and secondary works. Readers of Clark, Davis, Fisher, et al., will find Western American Novelists valu­ able—expensive but informative and clear. Future volumes with additional authors of the period are promised. SANFORD E. MAROVITZ Kent State University Women Singing In The Snow: A Cultural Analysis of Chicana Literature. By Tey Diana Rebolledo. (Tucson: University of Arizona Press, 1995. 250 pages, $35.00/$16.95.) This work is presented as the first book-length analysis of the Chicana literary tradition, and Rebolledo has done an admirable job of covering an immense amount of previously uncharted territory. As she points out in her introduction, “not a single article on Chicana literature by a Chicana critic has been published in . . . PMLA, Critical Inquiry, or other mainstream journals.” Women Singing is not an in-depth, critical examination nor a deeply theoret­ ical work, but it does place Chicana writers and theorists within a living sociohistorical and cultural context. Rebolledo begins with a look at some of the earliest MexicanAmerican women whose stories were collected as oral histories, cuentos, and estorias, linking them to the later, more well-known works of Nina Otrero-Warren, Cleofas Jaramillo, and Fabiola Cabeza de Baca, among the first Chicanas to be published in English. Chapters three and four are devoted to detailed examina­ tions of the ways in which Chicanas have claimed and altered liter­ ..." @default.
