Synopsis
<center>A scientist sees wild animals in empty urban spaces . . . A gravely ill woman weaves her desires into luminous cloth . . . An anthropologist seeks redemption in the bush, but is thwarted by an aboriginal people's indifference to natural violence. In twelve transcendent and affecting short fictions, National Book Award-winning author Barry Lopez demonstrates once again his respect for disparate ways of knowing and being, and his sense of the magic and marvelous strangeness of the real world.

Review
"Haunting . . . superb . . . exquisitely wrought . . . . Lopez is indeed a writer of many dimensions." --San Francisco Chronicle
"Haunting . . . mysterious. . . . These spare narrations carry surprising weight. . . . Lopez leaves all the right things unsaid, and the silence resonates." --Time "The purity and power of Mr. Lopez's imagery combine to give the reader a sure, steady footing." --The New York Times Review of Books "Enchanting . . . challenging . . . rewarding . . . a rich, subtly moving collection. . . . [Lopez's] sublime stories limn the soul of nature and the soul of humanity with equal skill, conviction and reverence." --The Plain Dealer "Each of the dozen stories . . . surrounds and encloses elements transformed, like a geode. Protected inside are fables of grace and faith, like lovely quartz crystals or beautiful bands of agate." --The Boston Globe "Lopez succeeds in awakening our fleeting yearning and hidden feelings." -The Denver Post "Lopez has such great narrative skill and uses his words so carefully the simple intensity is often nearly overwhelming." -The Oregonian"[Lopez's] stories' fierce beauty lingers in the mind's eye like a foreign sunset." -The Atlanta Journal-Constitution "Lopez displays his skill for description in writing that's precise, gorgeous, [and] arresting." -Rocky Mountain News
