Set inBig Sky Country, a triumphant collection of stories written with a comicgenius in the vein of Twain and Gogol—from from the acclaimed author of Ninety-two in the Shade and Cloudbursts, “one of America’s bestshort-story writers of the last 50 years” (TheBoston Globe)
These stories attest to the generous compass ofThomas McGuane’s fellow feeling, as well as to hisunique way with words. In this collection, filledwith grace and humor, the ties of family make for uncomfortable binds: Adevoted son is horrified to discover his mother’s antics before she slippedinto dementia, and a father’s outdoor skills are no match for a change in theweather. But complications arise equally in the absence of blood, as whenlifelong friends on a fishing trip finally confront their deep dislike foreach other. Or when a gifted traveling cattle breeder succumbs to the lure ofa stranger’s offer of easy money.
McGuane is as witty and large-hearted as we have ever known him, and CrowFair is a jubilant, thunderous confirmation of his status as a modern master.
