William Kittredge's stunning memoir is at once autobiography, a
family chronicle, and a Westerner's settling of accounts with the
land he grew up in. This is the story of a grandfather whose
single-minded hunger for property won him a ranch the size of
Delaware but estranged him from his family; of a father who farmed
with tractors and drainage ditches but consorted with movie stars;
and of Kittredge himself, who was raised by cowboys and saw them
become obsolete, who floundered through three marriages, hard
drinking, and madness before becoming a writer. Host hauntingly,
Hole in the Sky is an honest reckoning of the American myth that
drove generations of Americans westward -- and what became of their
dream after they reached the edge.
