I discovered it in an anthology "Women and Fiction" edited by Cahll. (an excellent book of short stories, all are gems.) <BR/><BR/>The interesting thing about "Cousin Lewis" is the unusual subject matter and how incredibly well Stubbs handles it. <BR/><BR/>Stubbs never wrote anything comparable to this, I searched out her works and was disappointed. never found anything as interesting as "Cousin Lewis".Bobby D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02205693811392933385noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8995634.post-53980082532652631432007-04-24T10:01:00.000-07:002007-04-24T10:01:00.000-07:00I'll read Hemingway's A clean, well-lighted place....I'll read Hemingway's <I>A clean, well-lighted place</I>.
