Description for Mountain Blood (Association of Writers and Writing Programs Award for Creative Nonfiction)
Paperback. Series: Association of Writers and Writing Programs Award for Creative Nonfiction. Num Pages: 192 pages, black & white halftones. BIC Classification: DNF. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 216 x 140 x 15. Weight in Grams: 272.
The recollections and yarns, historical meditations and reportage brought together in Mountain Blood display a sensibility formed by the harsh, outlandishly beautiful terrain of the American West. Will Baker’s tales range from Nebraska to Peru and tell of a boy’s first trout, a bar brawl over a woman, and the vise-like grip of gold over all of the Americas.
They spring from an imagination shaped by wild, circuitous mealtime stories of prospectors and from the bitter history of a place where suburban ranch houses dot the vast sweep of land once hunted by the Lakotah.
