They spring from a life spent in the West's harsh, grotesque, outlandishly beautiful terrain; from an imagination shaped by wild, circuitous mealtime stories of prospectors and of fistfights in isolated western towns; from the bitter history of a land where mining conglomerates dislodged the sourdoughs, where the ranch~style houses of suburbia occupy the great sweep of grass once hunted by the Lakotah. Will Baker ranges in this volume as far east as the Nebraska plains, a land of supermarkets and superhighways where the West once began, and as far south as the canyons of Chihuahua and the cloud forests of Peru, places that still lie beyond "the frontier of our society and its way of life. In "The Winged Worm" he tells of a boys first trout, dreamed of at the sporting goods counter of a general store in Idaho and then yanked from a stream with help of a hook and some worms. "The Legend of Great Uncle Jim and the Woman behind It All" describes a search for part of the past, part of a blood heritage, as a professor flogs his Volvo across rugged Nevada roads to confirm the family legend of a great uncle's death a century ago in a violent brawl over a woman. And "Sourdoughs, Filibusters, and a One~Eared Mule" traces the history of gold mining in the Far West from the point of view of the desperate sourdoughs, the hustlers, and the filibustering dreamers who never did find El Dorado. The first winner of the Associated Writing Programs Award for Creative Nonfiction, Mountain Blood blends memory, imagination, and speculation into a group of tales that often stretch and bend reality on their way to telling the truth; that view reality from a perspective somewhat akin to that of the man who climbs mountain peaks for no other reason than to see, without obstruction, in all directions. "Strong prose writing in the tradition of A River Runs Through It~writing which does not strain to be literary, but which instead evokes a vivid world of people and events. These are the true stories of ari American upbringing, Western in flavor, told with decency, integrity, and a loving respect for all sorts of people" ~Annie Dillard. N° de réf. du vendeur 11021104
