Dagoberto Gilb is an acknowledged master of the short story, the winner of the PEN/Hemingway Award, and a PEN/Faulkner finalist for his debut collection, The Magic of Blood, and was awarded a Guggenheim Fellowship for his fiction writing. His critically acclaimed collection Woodcuts of Women is now available in paperback and features ten moving and heartbreaking stories of lust, love, and longing among men and women struggling to find their way in the world. Written in Gilb's spare, humid language, each of these haunting stories is crafted with a poetic, aching beauty. At turns powerful and resonant, hopeful and humorous, Woodcuts of Women is a tour de force by one of America's foremost Latino writers. "The sheer intensity and bravado of Gilb's] vision make this collection succeed." -- Jean Thompson, The New York Times Book Review "Lonely, tough stories -- stories that force us to confront what's difficult in us, and in the people we love." -- Adrienne Miller, Esquire "Gilb's stories read like verbal woodcuts deliberately unrefined and carefully unadorned, clear in their intent but without undue elaboration...." -- Sean Glennon, The Hartford Courant "...Gilb writes of the gritty passions of man for women, grand delusions and tender mercies...." -- Oscar C. Villalon, San Francisco Chronicle

Great pillow

This pillow is great. It supports my head and is just the right softness. Love the fact that it is machine washable. Would definitely purchase it again.

Very well made pillow! It doesn't go flat right away like so many other pillows do. Very comfortable as well. I would purchase again.

Would buy again
Size: Standard (2 Pillows + 2 Protectors), Style: Medium, Configuration: Pillows + Protectors
I bought these pillows with the pillow protectors included. After 15 minutes of fluffing the pillows in the dryer they took their shape and were ready to use.

Nice medium thickness. Fits in shames great. Firm for a medium but will work well
Size: Standard (2 Pillows + 2 Protectors), Style: Medium, Configuration: Pillows + Protectors
Nice pillows for the price. I got the medium thickness and it’s a little stiff, but I think once slept on, it should soften up a bit, but if you like a softer or flatter pillow, definitely go for the soft one. But the quality seems to be very well-made. It puffed up straight out of the package. It didn’t have any smell whatsoever, and it fit perfectly in my standard size shams.

Loved them but may not last too long
Size: Standard (2 Pillows + 2 Protectors), Style: Medium, Configuration: Pillows + Protectors
I’m kind of torn on these. I love them and I want to buy more because they were very affordable and very comfy! I’ve had them less than six months and they lose their plumpness after a few nights sleep but they are easy to fluff back up. They are pretty thick and firm but form to your head and neck perfectly..for me at least. I’ve tossed them in the washer and dryer and they have been fine. Fluffed right back up perfectly. The material inside seems to be clumping together now. it’s easy to fluff them back out but you can notice the spaces where they’re starting to clump and even though they can be fluffed again it does seem they are starting to become compacted and I find myself having to fluff them more often. I’ll see how much longer they’ll last, but I will buy again because they are pretty comfortable. I love the covers they came with also. They stay cool and wash easy! Overall, great for the price, maybe not in the long run if you continue to buy, but I’ll see how much longer they’ll stay in good shape!
