what I thought about "flowering judas and other stories"

Katherine Anne Porter reminds me a bit of Willa Cather and a bit of Wallace Stegner.  Similar gift for narrative detail, similar subject matter.  My favorite story was the first one, "Maria Concepcion."  She's talented.  I like Cather and Stegner better, though.  Maybe I'll check out "Pale Horse, Pale Rider" and see if my opinion changes.
