The Collected Short Fiction of Marianne Hauser
Publisher Description
The Talking Room
A pregnant thirteen-year-old's apocalyptic vision of the late 20th century The Talking Room reflects an apocalyptic vision of the late 20th century, seen through the eyes of a pregnant thirteen-year-old who may not be a test tube baby. The Lesbian relationship between the mother J--wild, lost, beautiful--and competent Aunt V, a businesswoman, reveals itself to the reader as "the talking room" becomes the sounding board for the endless fights, endless reconciliations. V's desperate search for the beloved J through the nights of waterfront bars is lightened by wildly comic excursions reminiscent of our great American humorists. With wit, poetic clarity and compassion, Marianne Hauser explores the paradoxes of our age--need for love yet flight from love, search for self yet self-destruction--a dilemma shared alike by today's heterosexual and homosexual world. The author's multifaceted view defies dogma or simplification as her characters draw us into their turbulent and deeply human drama.
Shootout with Father
A novel about the richly textured relationship between a father and his grown son. The father's ambiguities soon become the son's obsession and he finds himself digging deeper and deeper into his father's past in an effort to understand the man before he was a father.

Me & My Mom!
The narrator of Me & My Mom is a definite product of our time. Dressed in "prewashed jeans slit and frazzled at the knees for the funky look," she loves and hates New York City, and is practical and down-to-earth on nearly all matters, including her love for her out-of-work husband, Jack. She represents nearly everything her mother, whom she has consigned to the Bide-a-Wee nursing home, hates; for the mother is a dreamer who has aspired, throughout her life, to better things.
Some Other Frequency
McCaffery converses with the young, recklessly daring, and furiously productive William Vollmann and with Marianne Hauser, who published her first novel nearly sixty years ago ... with Native American trickster novelist Gerald Vizenor and "guerrilla writer" Harold Jaffe (whose literary technique is to "plant a bomb, sneak away") ... with stark minimalist Lydia Davis and text-and-collage artist Derek Pell ... with muscular pop icon Mark Leyner and proto-punk diva Kathy Acker. They are a diverse lot, shaped by very different literary and personal influences, and addressing divergent readerships.
