"These short stories are set largely in the Pacific Northwest. Although the characters go into the wilderness in search of mallards or silver trout, they discover other things instead: the decay of their youthful ardor, the motiveless cruelty of strangers ; and their own capacity for deception and grief."@en
"Verhalen over mannen en jongens in een overgangsperiode, aan het begin of aan het eind van hun leven."
"Publisher's description: Like his novel, Snow Falling On Cedars, for which he received the PEN/Faulkner Award, Guterson's beautifully observed and emotionally piercing short stories are set largely in the Pacific Northwest. In these vast landscapes, hunting, fishing, and sports are the givens of men's lives. With prose that stings like the scent of gunpowder, this is a collection of power."
