Both moving and deeply funny, We Still Have the Telephone exhibits Van
Horn's long-practised miniaturist skills as an artist and her
ethnographic sense of curiosity as a writer. In this mosaic portrait of
a singular everywoman, cultural identity is on a par with ordinary
objects; anecdotes from a bygone era jostle with those of
sometimes-strange tokens of love given in a long-distance relationship.
Describing a life laid out in detail, quietly registering the fuzziness
of the line between eccentricity and madness, Van Horn signs one of her
most accomplished literary works to date.
