In the wake of a lifetime’s worth of disasters, Houghton illustrates what is sometimes the best way to cope: accept the fact that the world today is not how you left it yesterday. Get in your car, point it west, and drive.

These novellas—two powerful, two very different stories—are beautifully crafted, sometimes erotic, and always lyrical. What a wonderful surprise to discover a new voice, a teller of contemporary American stories that are assured and eloquent, witty, yet truthful to the point of heartbreak.

Compelling, beautifully written, surprising—Houghton's characters are ingeniously complex.

Two literary bullets, packed with quiet desperation, and aimed precisely at the reader's heart.

Frottage, a story told in letters from an attitudinal lady to her shrink, is wickedly funny, yet simultaneously wise and moving. A great read, and you could end up saving yourself a lot of $200 sessions.
Even As We Speak is one of those works where the sum of the parts is greater than the whole. What glistening little gems the various parts are, written in a sparse almost zen style. They add up.
—David Seidler, author of The King's Speech
