Summary

1. The crazy hunter: This stunning short novel portrays a family -- an almost grown young woman, her mother, and her drunkard father -- and a magnificent blind gelding. Powerful and businesslike, the mother is determined to put the blind horse down; her daughter is determined to save him.
2. The bridegroom's body: Swans become surrogates for human emotion in a story of suppressed passion and the unquestioned male subjugation of women.
3. Big Fiddle is the story of an American musician who plays the bass viol with a group in Austria. He has an "attack of nerves" and leaves the group to travel in England.
