520    Examining an eclectic group of western women's 
       autobiographical texts-canonical and otherwise-Playing 
       House in the American West argues for a distinct regional 
       literary tradition characterized by strategic 
       representations of unconventional domestic life. The 
       controlling metaphor Cathryn Halverson uses in her 
       engrossing study is "playing house." From Caroline 
       Kirkland and Laura Ingalls Wilder to Willa Cather and 
       Marilynne Robinson, from the mid-nineteenth to the late-
       twentieth centuries, western authors have persistently 
       embraced wayward or eccentric housekeeping to.
