"This collection shines...You get the feeling you're seeing how Rick Bass dreams." New York Newsday "Marvelous...The title story is stunning...It's the best single piece Bass has written to date." Los Angeles Times Book Review "Powerful...(Rick Bass) reminds me of D. H. Lawrence, who also relied on the power of his own voice to mesmerize the reader...Lyrical, vivid, engaging." USA Today "Stunning...(A) compassionate exploration of what learning to love feels like, smells like and sounds like...Spellbinding articulate." San Francisco Chronicle "Mythical...Bass creates a clear and luminous world where legends are still told." The Christian Science Monitor "Bass has written some of the finest short stories in the land: terse, haunting, often near-mystical tales that have brought comparisons to Hemingway and the late Raymond Carver." The Oregonian "Beautifully Written and filled with radiant imagery and a powerful sense of the mysteries of nature."
