River Teeth - Stories and Writings (Paperback, Reprinted edition)

In his passionate, luminous novels, David James  Duncan has won the devotion of countless critics  and readers, earning comparisons to Harper Lee,  Tom Robbins, and J.D. Salinger, to name just a few.  Now Duncan distills his remarkable powers of  observation into this unique collection of short  stories and essays.

At the heart of  Duncan's tales are characters undergoing the  complex and violent process of transformation, with  results both painful and wondrous. Equally  affecting are his nonfiction reminiscences, the  "river teeth" of the title. He likens his  memories to the remains of old-growth trees that fall  into Northwestern rivers and are sculpted by time  and water. These experiences--shaped by his own  river of time--are related with the art and grace  of a master storyteller. In River  Teeth, a uniquely gifted American writer blends  two forms, taking us into the rivers of truth and  make-believe, and all that lies in between.
