| Description: |
The definitive collection of stories--new and old--from Rick Bass, "one of this country's most intelligent and sensitive short story writers" (New York Times Book Review). |
| Synopsis: |
Rick Bass is unparalleled in his ability to evoke the enduring truths of the human heart amid astonishing portraits of wilderness both within and without. In his world we encounter larger-than-life characters--a couple that escapes from a sudden blizzard by traversing a frozen lake beneath the ice, or a young boxer who flees from a charging horse as a means of training for bar fights--each attempting to triumph against fate and time, in rugged landscapes that both save and destroy. These stories, filled with magic, beauty, and grandeur, are crafted with an artist's eye for detail. Together they present an iconic American writer at his peak, and form the landmark Rick Bass book that every fiction reader must have. |
