First-time author at age 81 and winner of the 1984 Western States Book Award with A Heaven in the Eye ( LJ 8/84), Rice won notice for the rough - hewn vigor of his Pacific Northwest memoir. Now he carries the story from 1935 to 1955, when he built an earthen house, sold lacquer thinner and vanilla extract, toiled in a wartime shipyard and constructed his own wooden boat, fished the coast, and owned an Oregon sawmill. His precarious grip on solvency and the love of two women were the cause of continual perplexity. Rice has not entirely spent his supply of artless charm, but the picaresque tales of his sequel wander in and out of self-indulgence, and readers may find the wait for an intended third volume no hardship at all. For regional collections.
