"A triumph of spare writing . . . A gem of a story, set in rough times, in a tough terrain, and tenderly told." - Bob Minzesheimer, USA Today "Pure, clean American simplicity in prose that is easy to mimic and hard to make . . . The visionary, miraculous element in Johnson's deceptively tough realism makes beautiful appearances in this book. The hard declarative sentences keep their powder dry for pages at a time, and then suddenly flare up into lyricism; the natural world of the American West is examined, logged, and frequently transfigured." - James Wood, The New Yorker, "A triumph of spare writing . . . A gem of a story, set in rough times, in a tough terrain, and tenderly told." -Bob Minzesheimer, USA Today "Pure, clean American simplicity in prose that is easy to mimic and hard to make . . . The visionary, miraculous element in Johnson's deceptively tough realism makes beautiful appearances in this book. The hard declarative sentences keep their powder dry for pages at a time, and then suddenly flare up into lyricism; the natural world of the American West is examined, logged, and frequently transfigured." -James Wood, The New Yorker

Unfortunately the U.S. Postal Service took 23 calendar days to deliver the book. It was shipped from Pennsylvania, to Atlanta, past Alabama to Texas, enjoyed several days in Texas, then to Minneapolis, Jacksonville, Florida, back to Atlanta, finally to Birmingham, and Huntsville. The seller was very responsive and I decided it was interesting to see if/how the book would arrive. Thanks, Joe
- 0***g (380)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufExcellent purchase. Was able to get all three items from the one seller. Seller was able to bundle all three items together into one package. Items as described and arrived in perfect condition. Good communication around shipping and tracking as items delayed and not able to be delivered by original estimate. Thanks to shipping updates I was able to track the items arriving before the extended delivery time. Thank you for making these items available on EBay.
