About this product

Product Information

A mother hires a sinister baby-sitter. An Irish innocent embraces the ambiguities of Belfast. A university professor welcomes a houseguest and finds himself a stranger in his own home. Two young women seek romance along the Canadian border .... Winner of the Associated Writing Programs' Award in Short Fiction, Walking on Ice depicts a world in which human relationships grow ever more fragile and trust is tentative at best. In these stories men and women confront the unexpected risks of everday life in Boston, Northern Ireland, Connecticut, the Scottish Highlands, and upstate New York. With subtlety and wit, Susan Hubbard explores the tensions of our times.

Reviews
The first-place selection of the 1989 Associated Writing Programs' Award in Short Fiction, Walking on Ice was called "mimimalism O. Henrified" by the New York Times Book Review., "Susan Hubbard's stories are about the accidents of desire, and the accidents that desire provokes. And they are riveting: they possess a headlong forward momentum which conveys all actions to us without commentary. Mysterious, comic, and menacing, they combine simplicity and complexity to create an effect of great elegance and power."--Charles Baxter, "Hubbard is an assured storyteller and a complex narrative stylist. Her collection of stories is unified in theme--pent-up characters desiring changes that may prove creative or destructive, but which offer release and relief, and which vivify what has been known as 'life.'"--Ploughshares
