Summary
From the National Book Award-winning author of Arctic Dreams comes a timeless, intoxicating collection of evocative stories. A flock of great blue herons descending through a snowstorm to the streets of New York ... A river in Nebraska disappearing mysteriously ... A ghostly herd of buffalo that sings a song of death ... A mystic who raises constellations of stones from the desert floor ... All these are to be found in Winter Count, the exquisite and rapturous collection of stories by a multiaward-winning author. These resonant and unpredictable stories reveal the author's breathtaking skill in producing painfully beautiful scenes. Combining the real with the wondrous, the stories offer a pure vision of people alive to the immediacy and spiritual truth of nature. "Flawless. As painstakingly crafted and as resonant as a good classical guitar." "Richly allusive, moving, compassionate, these stories celebrate the web of nature that holds the world together." "Animals and landscapes have not had this weight, this precision, in American fiction since Hemingway's young heroes were fishing the streams of upper Michigan and Spain." "Lopez succeeds in awakening our fleeting yearnings and hidden feelings. This book should be savored for the force of its imagery and the magic of its prose." "Perfectly crafted." "Powerful...[Lopez] can steal your breath away."
