Acting as himself in his essays and as various protagonists in his
stories, the author shows us a hunger for a vanished world of
natural splendor and ideal love. The essays are persuasively
strong, rising to a thematic climax in the powerfully reasoned
"Environmentalist as Misanthrope." As for the matching antiphonal
stories, they delight with their surprise endings and several-"The
Swimmer," "The Bright Side," "Assassinations" -may best be
described as small masterpieces. Both the essays and stories that
comprise Field Guide share a feature I call "page richness," a
literary quality that causes the reader to savor certain pages
before continuing toward the conclusion, as one might pause on a
long journey to enjoy especially appealing vistas. Writers either
have this ability or they don't. Steve Sherwood has it.
