About this title

From the Publisher

A personal journey of cataclysm and terrain

In her first collection of essays since her award winning book "The Census Taker," Marilyn Stablein takes us on a personal journey of cataclysm and terrain. From the preface: "The Far West is a region of intimidation. The potential for destruction both tempers and unnerves . . . those who live there. The Oakland-Berkeley Hills firestorm came within a half mile of my house. . . . Weather is inseparable from the landscape it affects. There are landscapes of destruction, of earthquakes, tidal waves, hurricanes and blizzards; and interior landscapes, the climate of closed spaces, the weather of dreams, memory and imagination."

Praise for Marilyn Stablein’s Novel "The Census Taker":

"[Stablein] brings a fresh, appreciative eye to a set of national images . . . her ironic stance provides a novel experience." -- Publisher's Weekly

"Stablein has applied her whimsical Western eye to the mystical East . . . conveying so much droll irony in that simple juxtaposition of viewpoints." -- Quarterly West
