« In her close readings of an impressive range of texts, Gretchen Martin traces connections between Southwest humor and American literary realism with broad implications for our understandings of both genres. She dispels a lingering sense that the characters created by Longstreet, Lewis, Harris, and others are the victims of narrative -- here they emerge as full participants in the trickery and the cultural commentary of their own stories. -- Kathryn McKee
