Paperback. Condición: New. Lorna Jackson's characters earn every scrap of comfort they get, sexual and otherwise. In the title story of Dressing for Hope, a bar singer finds her "future is getting crowded" when two ex-lovers turn up at the Hope Hotel to catch her gig, a third is on his way, and #2 gives her a phone message from #4. From the tiny stage, she notices the Harley women. "I admire how every step and glance is a sexual act. Their nail polish is libido. They wear tri-coloured rosebud tattoos in places I barely wash. They are as alert as I am to the mood of the room and pass through." "Round River" uses Paul Bunyan yarns to ease communication among a newcomer to a BC logging town, her lumberman lover Duff, and his very attractive 20-year-old son. Her deeply rooted inner conflicts almost sour the three-way relationship. But Duff finds the centre of peace and understanding for them all in a metaphor of work. "My father used to say, 'Hand-falling trees was so quiet,' but I've done it, too, and I know there's no difference. . The bounce of timber hitting dirt is loud no matter how it was cut or who cut it.".

"My father used to say, 'Hand-falling trees was so quiet,' but I've done it, too, and I know there's no difference. . The bounce of timber hitting dirt is loud no matter how it was cut or who cut it." The people in Dressing for Hope have their roots in their cars. They occupy a world that most readers enter only as voyeurs: biker bars, seedy hotels, small-town lounges, and the backwoods refuges of disappointed city folk. Yet Lorna Jackson makes that world both familiar and engaging. Especially when distances between characters seem almost unbridgeable, Jackson allows moments of transcendence that make exquisite sense. Dressing for Hope gives Jackson's readers their first chance to feel the collective power of her stories. Flawlessly written, with distilled descriptions and incisive observations of human nature, each is utterly compelling. Together they offer a memorable literary experience.
