Description
The hugely admired author of "The Last Fine Time" preserves and makes new the sights, smells, sounds, and poetry of country living. Klinkenborg reveals the beauty of the American landscape, not from a scenic overlook, but through a screened-in porch or from the window of a pickup driving down an empty highway in the teeth of an approaching storm.
Author Biography

Reviews"Klinkenborg works in short bursts of prose that are graceful but don't strain for the lyrical....His sentences find the perfectly apt metaphor to clarify, to make needed connections."
