The Sky, the Stars, the Wilderness

Rick Bass

"GQ" called the three short novels in this collection "wondrous." A woman returns to live on her family's west Texas ranch...a man tracks his wife through a winter wilderness...an ancient ocean buried in the foothills of the Appalachians becomes a battleground for a young wildcat oilman and his aging mentor. Here is Bass at his magical, passionate, and lyrical best.
