"I've always had this thing for cowboys, maybe because I was born in New Jersey," says the narrator in this collection's title story. "But a real cowboy is hard to find these days, even in the West."
In Pam Houston's "bright, edgy, and ruefully self- aware" (Boston Globe) collection of stories, we meet smart women who are looking for the love of a good man, and men who are wild and hard to pin down. Our heroines are part daredevil, part philosopher, all acute observers of the nuances of modern romance.
"[Houston] takes women into grand spaces, both emotional and physical, and isolates them until there's nothing left to do but sit down and take a hard look at one's soul" (Los Angeles Times). Cowboys Are My Weakness is an "exhilarating" (Washington Post) and realistic look at men and women-- together and apart.
