Description:
Houghton Mifflin, 2006. Sturdy and reliable hard cover in a full dust jacket. Some shelf wear to the covers and scuff to the page edge. Tight binding! The text flows clearly from beginning to end. Certainly a worthwhile edition.. Hard Cover. Good.

Summary
Rick Bass's new collection contains a broad range of characters and settings: the title story concerns a woman recovering from cancer; "Pagans" tells, at forty years' distance, of a girl and two boys -- one of whom was in love with her -- and the dangerous games they played; in "Her First Elk," a woman reflects on her first elk hunt and on her memories of her father and two brothers, now all dead. These stories, distinguished by their maturity, are narrated by men and women with compelling life tales. Filled with Bass's hallmark lean and beautiful prose, they are further proof of his mastery of the short fiction form.
