Editor's Notes and Comments:
Product Description:
In this sophisticated prose, Owens reveals the many timbres of his voice - humor, humility, love, joy, struggle, confusion, and clarity. We join him in the fields, farms, and ranches of California. We follow his search for a lost brother and contemplate along with him old family photographs from Indian Territory and early Oklahoma. In a final section, Owens reflects on the work and theories of other writers, including Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak, Gerald Vizenor, Michael Dorris, and Louise Erdrich.

Rated by buyers -
This is an excellent volume of work that seamlessly blends essay and fiction, reminding us that history, truth, memory and fiction are often the same thing. The essays and stories, while clearly the outgrowth of one man's experience and imagination, represent the entire breadth of human emotions. There are stories that pivot on comedy and surreality in France, others about work and class structure, and adolescent efforts to identify oneself within a white American culture during the 60s and 70s. There is a lost brother, a conflicted hunter, a naive forest ranger. What the reader gets are layers of complexity buried beneath great stories. The pull of this book is extraodinary. It leaves you wanting more.
