Where rivers change direction

There's no trace of sentimentality here, just a close look at a rugged childhood and early manhood. Spragg left childhood behind at age 11, when we went to work for his father. One of the strongest chapters details the winter he spent house-sitting in an isolated mountain cabin; it shows just how thin the line between sanity and insanity can become.

  • "Mark Spragg's collection of essays renders a story of an adolescence spent on the oldest dude ranch in Wyoming - a remote spread on the Shoshone National Forest, the largest block of unfenced wilderness in the lower forty-eight states. On the occasion of buying his first horse, Spragg earns a rare day-off from work and spends it at a stock auction with his father, a man whose love, though earned, remains ineffable. A life-threatening accident on an elk hunt in a remote wilderness area becomes a reflection upon the depth and nature of the bond between a young man and his mentor. A boy's desire to fire a gun is cause for questioning rites of passage that wed manhood and violence. A mortally injured wild horse and a mysterious, reclusive neighbor haunt the winter Spragg spends as a caretaker at a snow-bound ranch where the dance between life and death, sanity and insanity, is inescapable. --From publisher's description."

  • "Ces récits sur le grand Ouest américain, inspirés par l'enfance de l'auteur dans un ranch perdu du Wyoming, abordent des thèmes universels (la vie, les émotions, le sens du passage de chacun sur terre...) et confrontent les hommes à leurs besoins et réflexes fontamentaux dans une nature intransigeante."
