Items related to Out of the Woods
The eight new stories in "Out of the Woods" mark Offutt's return to the form in which he first displayed his astonishing talent. In "Tough People, " luck wins out over love in an unconventional prizefight. In "Barred Owl, " when a bird strays too far from home and fatally loses its way, the Kentuckian who covets its pelt meets an identical fate. In "Target Practice, " a man can't earn his father's respect until he shoots him with a rifle. These are stories of gravediggers and drifters, gamblers and truck drivers a long way from home, tales so full of hard edges that they can't help but tell some hard truths.

Review:
Kaye GibbonsChris Offutt is a marvelous, truly gifted writer.
From the Publisher:
From NEWSDAY, January 11, 1999
"OUT OF THE WOODS has the quiet majesty of classic American fiction. This is beautiful prose--as clear and pure and flowing as a mountain stream. Offutt packs more emotion, and more emotional truth, into a sentence than any American writer since Raymond Carver."
