Gallatin Canyon: Stories

Gallatin Canyon: Stories
- Used Book in Good Condition
A superb collection of storiesâ€”his first in twenty yearsâ€”from one of our most acclaimed literary figures, whom The New York Times Book Review has called â€œa writer of the first magnitude.â€

Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Place exerts the power of destiny in these ten stories of lives uncannily recognizable and unforgettably strange:Â a boy makes a surprising discovery skating at night on Lake Michigan; an Irish clan in Massachusetts gather at the bedside of their dying matriarch; a battered survivor of the glory days of Key West washes up on other shores. Several of the stories unfold in Big Sky country, McGuaneâ€™s signature landscape:Â a father tries to buy his adult son out of virginity; a convict turned cowhand finds refuge at a ranch in ruination; a couple makes a fateful drive through the perilous gorge of the title story before parting ways. McGuaneâ€™s people are seekers, beguiled by the landâ€™s beauty and myth, compelled by the fantasy of what a locale can offer, forced to reconcile dream and truth.

The stories of Gallatin Canyon are alternately comical, dark, and poignant. Rich in the wit, compassion, and matchless language for which McGuane is celebrated, they are the work of a master.
