Two novellas. In Drought, a young couple's relationship on a failing cattle ranch is dissected, allowing us to see all the subcutaneous mental and physical violence they endure. Say what you like offers an even more ruthless examination of a couple's deep-seated pain, pared down to short, numbered sections.
