Happy Trails to You: Stories
Happy Trails to You: Stories
Happy Trails to You: Stories is a 2008 collection of short stories by American author Julie Hecht. It was first published on May 6, 2008, by Simon & Schuster and was later released in paperback the following year. Like her previous books, the stories follow Isabelle, a middle-aged photographer, and the collection contains seven stories.
Reception: The book received mostly positive reviews. The Plain Dealer and Boston.com praised it. Boston.com wrote that “Like the photographs the narrator captures in this new collection, she too comes into greater focus, as Hecht reveals, with a careful, confident hand, a woman who is many things: fraught and frustrating, hilarious and hopeless, but ultimately, just an individual trying to survive in the world.” Entertainment Weekly gave a more mixed reaction, saying “Julie Hecht can be droll, but her narrator’s relentless neuroses ultimately grate.”
