How to talk to a hunter

I was intrigued by this story. "How to talk to a Hunter" is intended to be the story of most relationships: a selfish, "hunting" man, and a trapped, hopeless woman. Pam Houston writes in the second person, and places different advice or perspectives by saying "your best male friend will say..." or "your best female friend will say..." This allows the story to be universal: anyone can fill in the character's names in the story and make it their own, hypothetically. Houston also uses humor to poke fun at her commentary of modern relationships. The story is on the whole, interesting and somewhat sad. It offers little or no hope of love between a man (or a hunter) and a woman.
