2020 Montana Book Award Honor Book “(These) stories should be
required reading.” -Montana Book Award Committee Tom
“Harp” Harpole was a horse logger working from remote mountain
camps and living in wall tents until an accident suggested a change
of lifestyle. He took to his other avocation – writing, and
studied abroad in Ireland. He began publishing stories in
periodicals such as Smithsonian Air & Space, Sports
Illustrated, Crocodil, Montana Quarterly, Whitefish Review, and
more. In 1986 his story “The Last of Butch” (Faber & Faber,
London) was selected as The Best Short Story in the British Isles.
His work has been short-listed for the National Magazine Award
twice, and translated into six languages. He has been a guest
reader on NPR more than a dozen times. Harpole writes in a voice
that uses his natural wit and humor to shed light on a life
of stories that bring readers to the edge of danger. “Tom Harpole
is what you might call a thinking man’s Evel Knievel,” - Aaron
Parrett, author of Montana: Then & Now Certain magazines that
assigned Harp feature articles knew early on that he would try
anything that involved physical/emotional risks. He regarded
himself as a Survivor’s Euphoria aficionado. His
willingness and perspective on dalliances with danger range from an
N.F.L. record, to horse logging, to skydiving with Russian
cosmonauts, to getting a black bear stoned, to his compassion as a
volunteer EMT in rural Montana, to protesting Gorbachev in 1990, to
driving ice roads above the Arctic circle, and more. This book is a
collection of sixteen of his most popular stories.
