The Country Ahead of Us, the Country Behind

3.4/5 ( ratings)

Like his novel, Snow Falling On Cedars, for which he received the PEN/Faulkner Award, Guterson's beautifully observed and emotionally piercing short stories are set largely in the Pacific Northwest. In these vast landscapes, hunting, fishing, and sports are the givens of men's lives. With prose that stings like the scent of gunpowder, this is a collection of power.

Contents

Angels in the snow
Opening day
Day of the moonwalk
Aliens
Wood grouse on a high promontory overlooking Canada
Piranhas
Three hunters
American elm
Arcturus
The flower garden
