"Paul Watkins is without question one of the most gifted writers of his generation. A storyteller to his bones, he also has language, and a particularly masculine tenderness, and a restless curiosity. The result is work of astonishing variety and range."--Tobias Wolff "Crisp, satisfying . . . The forest over which the characters are struggling takes on a memorable vibrancy and life."--"Elle" "Rich characterizations and a seamless narrative bring to roaring life this tale of environmental conflict . . . Watkins evokes the grandeur of the woods as well as the wild unpredictability of both natural and social violence."--"Publishers Weekly "(starred review)
