In this collection of twelve stories, Barry Lopez--the National
Book Award-winning author of Arctic Dreams and one of our most
admired writers--evokes the longing we feel for beauty in our
relationships with one another, with the past, and with nature.
An anthropologist traveling with an aboriginal people finds that,
because of his aggressive desire to understand them, they remain
always disturbingly unknowable. A successful financial consultant,
failing to discover his roots in Africa, jogs from Connecticut to
the Pacific Ocean in order to forge an indigenous connection to the
American landscape. A paleontologist is haunted by visions of
wildlife in a vacant lot in Manhattan. In simple, crystalline
prose, Lopez evokes a sense of the magic and marvelous strangeness
of the world, and a deep compassion for the human predicament.
