Ever since starting this, I've wondered how to review it without spoiling it. I don't just mean the risks of giving it away. I mean I kept wanting to cut expressions and sentences and ideas out and paste them here, but even as I pictured it each time, while sitting alongside the lake being infused by the beauty both of this book and the setting, and the joy of the company I was in, I felt it would cheapen and spoil the things I was trying to show off. I confess, the last few stories did not live up to the others, but instead of reading them in a blissful state, I was sleep-deprived and sad. Does this ever suit a book? I'm trying to remember, but I'm too tired! Can one blame the book for the consequences? Surely not. If you have the least interest in short pieces - stories, I suppose - read this, you won't regret it. Sometimes he starts with an idea from elsewhere. I especially liked this.

In his passionate, luminous novels, David James Duncan has won the devotion of countless critics and readers, earning comparisons to Harper Lee, Tom Robbins, and J.D. Salinger, to name just a few. Now Duncan distills his remarkable powers of observation into this unique collection of short stories and essays. At the heart of Duncan's tales are characters undergoing the complex and violent process of transformation, with results both painful and wondrous. Equally affecting are his nonfiction reminiscences, the "river teeth" of the title. He likens his memories to the remains of old-growth trees that fall into Northwestern rivers and are sculpted by time and water. These experiences--shaped by his own river of time--are related with the art and grace of a master storyteller. In River Teeth, a uniquely gifted American writer blends two forms, taking us into the rivers of truth and make-believe, and all that lies in between. No library descriptions found. |
