Review:
Autobiography/Memoir "A pleasure to read ... [Kittredge] has written a remarkably frank account of his own life, and at every stage it was interesting.... You will not have read another Western like this." -- Washington Post Book World "A grand and true story by one of our finest writers." -- Annie Dillard
"The story of the Kittredges ... intersects mightily with the myth of American expansion and 'improvement' of the 'wilderness.'... a valuable memoir that should be read with care ... [Kittredge's] voice should be a prophetic one." Chicago Tribune

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. William Kittredge's stunning memoir is at once autobiography, a family chronicle, and a Westerner's settling of accounts with the land he grew up in. This is the story of a grandfather whose single-minded hunger for property won him a ranch the size of Delaware but estranged him from his family; of a father who farmed with tractors and drainage ditches but consorted with movie stars; and of Kittredge himself, who was raised by cowboys and saw them become obsolete, who floundered through three marriages, hard drinking, and madness before becoming a writer. Host hauntingly, Hole in the Sky is an honest reckoning of the American myth that drove generations of Americans westward -- and what became of their dream after they reached the edge. In a beautifully written--at times heartbreaking--memoir, Kittredge tells stories of his grandfather and father and recounts his own struggle as he progressed from farmer to writer. An honest reckoning of an American myth, rendered with enormous eloquence and visionary sweep. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
