About this title

Review:

Long awaited and highly anticipated by the fans of his previous short-story collection The Watch, Rick Bass returns to the genre with the gifted hand of a master. With a unique, longing voice and a lyrical pen, Bass's tales simultaneously embrace vibrant images of ordinary human life and exuberant images of the natural world. His vision of man's relationship to his environment is uncompromising, edging towards anger and settling into a profound understanding. This collection will stand among the best of the year.
