Brown Dog of the Yaak Essays on Art and Activism

"More than anything else, the dog represents us: the human presence in a wild place, sniffing, urinating, ripping through the forest in search of grouse and disaster.Bass gets a little corny in his appreciation of the drama. What distinguishes his work here, however, is that clearly he's sat down and really thought through his subject. What he ultimately comes up with--encouragement for artists coupled with an effective plea on behalf of the Yaak and all wilderness--isn't a stunning surprise, but it's strong enough and sharp enough to have lasting value."Bass, Rick is the author of 'Brown Dog of the Yaak Essays on Art and Activism', published 1999 under ISBN 9781571312242 and ISBN 1571312242.
