"Extraordinary, very important book. No new but still of great interest." according to Lydia Smith. Read it when it first came out, and was enormously impressed then. Have not re-read it, but I'm sure my opinion would be the same.The author is an extraordinary researcher, who has done a great deal of field work all over the globe, as well as creating a newDepartment of BioScience at Harvard.

A new collection of stories set in the West from "one of the most gifted and versatile of contemporary writers" (NPR)Percival Everett's long-awaited new collection of stories, his first since 2004's Damned If I Do, finds him traversing the West with characteristic restlessness. In the hands of master storyteller Everett, the act of questioning leads to vistas more strange and unsettling than could ever have been expected.. A deaf Native American girl wanders off into the desert and is found untouched in a den of rattlesnakes. An old woman rides her horse into a mountain snowstorm and sees a long-dead beloved dog. A
