Review
"FIRE SEASON is enlightening and well-informed...and Philip Connors is a most welcome new voice."--Barry Lopez
"[A] stunning gift of a memoir. . . . [A] profound (and at times hilariously profane) perspective on the relationship between humans and the earth. . . . Passionate and funny, Fire Season is an exciting new addition to the canon of American nature writing."--BookPage
"For those lacking the freedom, gumption or plain will power to taste such a romantic life for themselves, simply reading Connors' account sure is fun."--Deseret News
"An excellent, informative, and delightful book."--Annie Proulx
"[C]harming. . . . [Connors is] a careful observer delighting in nature and aware of what threatens it."--Bloomberg News
"FIRE SEASON is an urgent, clear, bright book; it is both lyrical enough to arrest breath and absolutely compelling, reminding us why we need fire, solitude, wilderness. Find room on your bookshelf next to Wallace Stegner and Norman Maclean; Philip Connors is here to stay."--Alexandra Fuller
"[A] fascinating personal narrative . . . and a poetic tribute to solitude and the natural world."--Paris Review Daily
"A clear overview of America's shifting attitude toward its own wilderness. . . . [H]is affection is catching."--Portland Mercury
"[A] quietly moving love letter to a singular place. By the last page, I wanted to hike up to the tower, sip some whiskey with him and just look."--Los Angeles Times
"What a wonderful book. Philip Connors went up to the mountaintop to serve as a lookout--and he has come down with a masterwork of close observation, deep reflection, and hard-won wisdom. This is an unforgettable reckoning with the American land."--Philip Gourevitch
