Retired English teacher Myrtle Clover is frequently asked to proofread for friends. So she wasn't totally surprised when her friend Pearl asked her to take a look at her memoir and polish it up. But before Myrtle could pull out her red pen, Pearl was found murdered.

Decent story but poor narrator
Revisado: 10-19-24
The story was enjoyable but the narration was poor. The narrator made several mistakes and mispronunciations that were distracting and her voices for the various characters was weak and inconsistent. Really disappointing. I wish this series would stick with Lia Frederick.

Never acknowledge the fact that you're a girl, and take pride when your guy friends say, 'You're one of the guys.' Tell yourself, 'I am one of the guys,' even though, in the back of your mind, a little voice says, 'But you've got girl parts.'" A girl whose self-worth revolves around masculinity, a bartender who loses her sense of safety, a woman who compares men to plants, and a boy who shoots his cranked-out father. These are a few of the hard-scrabble characters in Tamara Linse's debut short story collection, How to Be a Man.

Impressive collection set in Wyoming
Revisado: 10-23-15
If you could sum up How to Be a Man in three words, what would they be?
Western, poignant, lyrical
What other book might you compare How to Be a Man to and why?
I don't think I can compare this collection to other story collections because Tamara Linse has such a unique voice.
Which scene was your favorite?
The title story is my favorite and I think it's the strongest story in the collection. It's tricky to tell a story in second person, and this one doesn't at all feel gimmicky. Instead, you're inside Birdy Gunderson, feeling everything she feels. "Then it will be as if some one grabs the center of his face and twists. The look will be so awful your body will wander to a stop and you'll stand, unbelieving, still caught in the adrenaline of the moment before." I don't know if it's possible for those lines not to break your heart.
If you could rename How to Be a Man, what would you call it?
The name is perfect as it is! I'm looking forward to reading more from Linse, and I've already purchased her novel, Deep Down Things.
Any additional comments?
P.J. Morgan is a talented narrator and I look forward to hearing more of her work. I received this audiobook in exchange for a fair review.
