Gigolo (Unabridged)
Gigolo is a collection of short stories by Edna Ferber, best known for her novels Show Boat and So Big . Like most of her works, these stories take place in the heart of the country - the Midwest, from Illinois to Oklahoma. Her protagonists range from a twenty-something auto mechanic to a woman who finds herself "suddenly sixty." In these stories we meet many strong women facing - and generally conquering - difficult circumstances.
But she write also of men's struggles with the rapidly changing social politics of the early 1900's, showing how various characters resist, but ultimately move with a time in which women are gaining unprecedented power and influence of women from the home to the workplace. Her stories are about real people; her characters are familiar to the reader, even a century after she created them. Her writing is clear, crisp, emotionally evocative, and always humorous.
