Merle's and Marilyn's Mink Ranch is a collection of stories about men and women who face life on their own terms, creating new myths and changing their realities to fit their needs. Tetu evokes humor and pathos, honing in on those small but critical circumstances that lead her characters to act decisively as their lives unfold in the small tight-knit communities of rural New England.
"Tetu's collection of stories is like a rich attic-full of relics, warps in time, miniatures, mementos, odd angles of vision, curious characters. You'll find it a fine place to spend an afternoon."
-Elisabeth Young-Bruehl Author of Anna Freud: A Biography
"Tetu calmly observes a commonplace landscape-country roads, small towns-with the intensity of someone discovering how the logic of an alien world works. Like Kafka, she is so inside her lonely and comic characters that she can be as detached from their puzzled behavior as they are.
-Fred Miller Robinson
Former editor of The Massachusetts Review
"[Her stories are] lean, lithe, graceful as a dancer... electric with energy, alive with interest, humming with evocation. Ran- deane Tetu is clearly one of our best story writers. Merle's and Marilyn's Mink Ranch is a book to take to heart."
-George Garrett, Novelist
"Randeane Tetu sees... the most delicate shadings and nuances of human behavior, the kinds of things that we know intuitively but have never brought fully into consciousness. -William Woolfolk, Novelist and TV Writer
"The lucky reader of these twenty stories will encounter an accomplished writer with a poet's eye for detail and the ear of a true listener."
-Brendan Galvin, Poet
