Montana has long drawn the outcasts and the dreamers, the searchers
and the hiders--and the writers. Here are twenty-one stories from
the frontier of our country and the edge of our national
imagination.
The cast of characters is as big as the state. There's the
cuckolded father in Richard Ford's classic, "Great Falls," or Ralph
Beer's hero in "Big Spenders," sitting with his umbrella drink,
dreaming about palm trees and white crescent beaches. There's also
Thomas McGuane's eavesdropping narrator in "Like a Leaf," watching
other people's lives, always from a distance. Chris Offutt's
protagonist in "Tough People" is trying to earn enough money in
amateur boxing to get out of town, while Mary Clearman Blew's
narrator in "Bears and Lions" describes how her home is slipping
away--how the West is leaving her behind.
Montana has for years been a special place for writers. The Best of
Montana's Short Fiction is long overdue.
