Description
These well-crafted stories range in subject from a jilted husband's attempt to win his family back by breaking the world push-up record to the cause-and-effect relationship between one man's attempted suicide and the disabling of his rescuer's son. The title story details a system of colour-coding husbands; earthtone for the ones who never talk or if they do it's about crabgrass or the weather'; red for the guys who are always maddern' hell and want to hit people'; black husbands, the guys with hearts the colour of soot'; and green for the ones who just want to grow'. In Blue Husbands' Dickinson shows one man's transformation from a blue husband to a man who won't be confined by his father's paintbox reduction of marriage. Like Blue Husbands', many of these stories explore the hazards of marriage and Dickinson, avoiding the pitfall of sentimentality, powerfully and persuasively celebrates our desire for love.
