Reviews
"Astonishing . . . McGuane has become our poet-philosopher of the arm's length . . . A writer [who] knows something about writing, real writing . . . words as access to the soul . . . McGuane has driven so hard into the heart of a received wisdom concerning American manhood, otherwise known as American loneliness, that he has broken through to the other side." Stephen Metcalf,New York Times Book Review "Dazzling . . . Classic McGuane, packed with emotionally wayward characters following dark, twisted paths where chance occurrences, strange coincidences and surprising bursts of humor wait in dark corners with clenched fists." Steven Rinella,Outside "Some moments in these tales are simply breathtaking." Jacqueline Blais,USA Today "One of our country's finest prosemakers . . . You hear the name Thomas McGuane and you think of Montana's big sky, beneath which cavort and limp and love and lament that peculiar breed of folks we call Westerners, who, by the time we finish reading about them, we think of as our cousins, wherever any of us may live." Alan Cheuse,San Francisco Chronicle "McGuane is a master . . . You can't force this kind of writing." Susan Salter Reynolds,Los Angeles Times "There are good writers and there are very good writers and then there are a few very very good writers. Thomas McGuane is a very very good writer . . . Buy this book." John Greenya,Washington Times "One of the best story collections in a surprisingly robust field . . . McGuane is very much a serious writer and with these stories one to be taken seriously." Robert Birnbaum,Denver Post "With hints of Robert Stone and Joseph Conrad, McGuane crafts a moving account [that will] touch a nerve." Bob Hoover,Pittsburg Post-Gazette "Powerful stuff." Pete Warzel,Rocky Mountain News "Leaves the reader surprised and satisfied . . . McGuane navigates the human condition with skill and elegance." Ginny Merdes,The Seattle Times "Gallatin Canyonshould start a storm of revival of the power of the short story. Tom McGuane is the most graceful, deepest-witted writer of his generation. These stories are gold in every sentence." Barry Hannah, author ofAirships From the Hardcover edition., "Tremendous. . . . [McGuane] evokes characters so vivid and universally pained that they'll keep you up at night." -The Philadelphia Inquirer "Astonishing. . . . [McGuane] knows something about writing, real writingwhich is to say, words as access to the soul. . . . McGuane has driven so hard into the heart of a received wisdom concerning American manhood . . . that he has broken through to the other side." -The New York Times Book Review "McGuane is a master. . . . To see the world through the eyes of his characters . . . is to feel unsettled, precarious, and yet certain . . . of one thing: change. . . . [He] turns each story into a kind of pressure cooker." -Los Angeles Times, "Tremendous. . . . [McGuane] evokes characters so vivid and universally pained that they'll keep you up at night." - The Philadelphia Inquirer "Astonishing. . . . [McGuane] knows something about writing, real writingwhich is to say, words as access to the soul. . . .

Synopsis
From the acclaimed author of Ninety-two in the Shade and Cloudbursts --the stories of Gallatin Canyon are rich in the wit, compassion, and matchless language for which Thomas McGuane is celebrated. Set mostly in famed Big Sky Country, McGuane brings us an "astonishing" ( The New York Times Book Review ) collection in which place exerts the power of destiny. A boy makes a surprising discovery skating at night on Lake Michigan; an Irish clan in Massachusetts gather around their dying matriarch; a battered survivor of the glory days of Key West washes up on other shores. Several of the stories unfold in Big Sky country: a father tries to buy his adult son's way out of virginity; a convict turns cowhand on a ranch; a couple makes a fateful drive through a perilous gorge. McGuane's people are seekers, beguiled by the land's beauty and myth, compelled by the fantasy of what a locale can offer, forced to reconcile dream and truth., The stories of Gallatin Canyon are rich in the wit, compassion, and matchless language for which Thomas McGuane is celebrated.Place exerts the power of destiny in these tales: a boy makes a surprising discovery skating at night on Lake Michigan; an Irish clan in Massachusetts gather around their dying matriarch; a battered survivor of the glory days of Key West washes up on other shores.
