“Brilliant....Houston claims for women the terrain staked out by male writers from Hemingway to Richard Ford....Her voice is wholly formed and perfect.” - Los Angeles Times“A collection of smart, surefooted stories, full of humor, intelligence and a kind of steely-eyed wonder....These are the stories that might have emerged had an intelligent woman followed Hemingway around.” - San Francisco Chronicle Pam Houston is the prize-winning author of Contents May Have Shifted, among other books. She is professor of English at the University of California–Davis and lives on a ranch at 9,000 feet in Colorado near the headwaters of the Rio Grande.
"Exhilarating, like a swift ride through river rapids with a spunky, sexy gal handling the oars."―Washington Post Book World
In Pam Houston's critically acclaimed collection of strong, shrewd, and very funny 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. "I've always had this thing for cowboys, maybe because I was born in New Jersey,” says the narrator in the collection’s title story. “But a real cowboy is hard to find these days, even in the West.” Our heroines are part daredevil, part philosopher, all acute observers of the nuances of modern romance. They go where their cowboys go, they meet cowboys who don't look the part – and they have staunch friends who give them advice when the going gets rough. Cowboys Are My Weakness is a refreshing and realistic look at men and women – together and apart.Brilliant short stories This is one of my top ten favorite books.Pam Houston is a gifted writer with a wicked sense of humor. She is a master of the short story genre. When I first read this book, I thought cowboys were rugged and handsome. I've come to know this to be true.Now, I am blessed to take their photographs for living.A good short story is harder than you might imagine to write. Pam Houston does it best.Houston put on boots and took names This review is for the W. W. Norton & Company paperback edition, 1992, 171 pages with 12 stories, eight of which were previously published in literary journals. COWBOYS ARE MY WEAKNESS is not listed on the USA Today's Top 150 Best-Selling books.These stories are about "real men" who run rapids at high water, rescue one dog a year from the humane society, love white-tailed deer more than women, stalk Dall deer for the kill, and run fast away from commitment. They are also about the women who put up with these guys, written by a woman has, but only to warn her species. Pam Houston put on boots and took names.Ladies, read this and laugh. You real men, read it for the profile of the woman you're looking for, but beware. Houston's got your number. You're country music, where "The men in the songs were all brutal or inexpressive and always sorry later."One of my favorite books of all times One of my favorite books of all times. I have read it more than twenty times, but it still seems new every time. My girlfriends and I took turns reading the stories out loud by the campfire in Colorado when I first bought it back in the early 90's, and I just read it recently on a beach trip to Mexico with my husband on my Kindle - A totally different life now, but the book still seems so familiar.
