Summary: I may never need to read another book again
Comment: The truly orgasmic experience of reading Rick Bass' book has made me rethink my initial take on Cold Mountain - hailed by Mr. Bass himself as the book to end all need to read other books... Bass' work has made me reshape my look at the cosmos and step back in awe. Even the manor in which the book is typeset creates a longing in my soul for an existence in which reading this book provides my sole physical sustenance. I may be too bold in saying that all books be burned save this and perhaps Cold Mountain to keep us all from wasting our time pondering anything else.

Summary: Antlers and fires
Comment: As a lover of Rick Bass' nonfiction, I sometimes find myself a little disappointed with his approach to fiction. In some of these stories, the metaphors and symbols Bass attempts to draw are lost on me--either too bizarre or too obscure or too complex. But there are some truly beautiful moments here, particularly in the stories "Antlers" and "Fires." Bass is most successful when his stories are deeply rooted in a place he knows well, and when his plot lines are relatively simple. Both stories mentioned above deal centrally with human relationships: fear and longing. Set in a carefully wrought landscape (in the case of these two stories, northwest Montana), the people and places come alive in a way than few other writers (except maybe Wendell Berry) can emulate. I do recommend this book, but I would more enthusiastically recommend some of Bass' nonfiction, especially "Winter," "The Lost Grizzlies," and "The Book of Yaak." Also, his book of short stories, "Platte River," has some lovely moments. Keep writing, Rick!

Summary: Some of Bass's Best!
Comment: 10 great short stories that illuminate the breadth at which Bass can write. The different subject matter compliments Bass's other works nicely. If you are a first time reader of Bass, start with Winter: Notes from Montana and then grab this one as a follow up.
