"A smartly turned-out first novel, about the push and pull between a young Louisiana couple, that holds you snug and won't let go...[an] A." --Entertainment Weekly
"Marries the power of a first novel with the wisdom of a second. This is one of those books about which you mumble, halfway through, 'Hey, I'm happy I'm reading this.'...The rippingest novel of the year, with writing that dances and swells like a jitterbug on a hot skillet." --Donald Newlove, The Philadelphia Inquirer
"Gautreaux chronicles the Louisiana landscape with loving precision and insight. Every sound, every smell, is just right....This is both an elegy for a disappearing way of life and a celebration of enduring values." --Susan Larson, The New Orleans Times-Picayune
Tim Gautreaux teaches English at Southeastern Louisiana University. His work has appeared in Atlantic Monthly, Harpers, GQ, Story, Best American Short Stories, and New Stories from the South. He is the author of the story collection Same Place, Same Things.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Bringing the same light and gentle understanding that he did to the story collection Same Place, Same Things, author Tim Gautreaux tells the tale of Paul and Colette, star-crossed and factious lovers struggling to make it in rural south Louisiana. When Colette, fed up with small town life, perceives yet another indiscretion by the fun-loving Paul, she heads for Los Angeles, with big dreams and Paul in tow. Paul's attempts to draw his beautiful young wife back home to the Cajun bayou, and back to his heart, make up a tale filled with warmth, devotion and majestically constructed scenes of Southern life, in The Next Step in the Dance. Paul follows his young bride Colette as she leaves their small town for a better life in California and returns with her to Lousiana, where they must pick up the pieces of both their marriage and their livelihoods during the 1980s economic recession.
