Land Beyond Maps Continues to Garner Awards
October 2011
Maida Tilchen's lovely book about life in the West in the early twentieth century was a finalist in the 2010 Lambda Literary Foundation, Lesbian Debut Fiction.
This novel is a glittering mosaic of women's lives in the historic Southwest. From Harvey Girls to TB patients to artists including photographer Laura Gilpin--these are strong women in a rugged but rewarding landscape. Settings range from the Jewish community of Santa Fe to the Navajo Reservation; author Maida Tilchen knows and lovingly portrays the locales. With some homage to Willa Cather, this book takes its place in the literature of the Southwest. –Miriam Sagan, author of the collection of poetry, Map of the Lost
