About the Author:
Rick Bass lives in the Yaak Valley of Montana and is the author of The Watch, Ninemile Wolves, and Winter, among other books. His most recent book of short stories is In the Loyal Mountains.
From Library Journal:
In understated prose that concentrates on things that really matterfriendship, freedom, and loyaltyBass skillfully sketches his characters: men who drink too much, drive too fast, take too many chances and, regardless of their age, refuse to grow up. Wild and free, they are emotionally content with their usually remote environment, living off the land or going back to it to renew themselves. Bass writes with verisimilitude; he himself is a petroleum geologist who currently works on a Montana ranch. His stories will appeal most to male readers who enjoy the outdoors. Ellen R. Cohen, Rockville, Md.
