Reviews for Tuco and the Scattershot World: A Life with Birds
Tuco is, at its heart, an account of survival, of the life of the Other, whether in its human or avian form. It's a beautiful book, rich in both information and emotion, anchored in Brett's rich, accessible prose and his humble, plain-spoken strength.
