"Brothers and sisters drawn by their father's death back home to the the family farm, a friend wrestling with the ghastly consequences of his own inattention, a very-ill man's pilgrimage to the high mountains of California — these spare and deeply western stories crackle with hard-earned grief, love, and, when it matters, humor."
Daniel Duane, author of Lighting Out and Caught Inside
"This cleanly and powerfully written collection puts one in mind of certain eminent writers of the West — Wallace Stegner, David Vann, and the Kerouac of The Dharma Bums — forming, unlike many story collections, a unity of mood and theme, and putting on display some high-level literary chops. Mr. Schwartz feels strongly and the storms of emotion in his stories lead to deep skies.
Robert Roper, author of Nabokov in America: On The Road to Lolita, and Fatal
Mountaineer: The High -Altitude Life and Death of Will Unsoeld
