A. B. Guthrie Jr. is best known for his historical fiction; his
classic novel The Way West earned him a Pulitzer Prize. Guthrie had
the ability to create memorable yet believable characters, was
skillful in his use of narration and point of view, and possessed a
notable flair for describing the landscape of the American West. It
is unsurprising, perhaps, that Guthrie also had a deft talent for
short fiction. The Big It and Other Stories collects his diverse
shorter tales, written between 1946 and 1960. Often relying on a
few recorded facts as a springboard for his lively and sympathetic
imagination, Guthrie explores many of his favorite themes-communion
between man and nature, the test of manhood, resilience in the face
of new or dangerous situations-with a sure and steady hand that
always holds the reader's interest. Full of humor and excitement,
The Big It and Other Stories showcases Guthrie's art in a new genre
and spotlights the love for the West and for westerners that is the
hallmark of his writing.
