All of the characters in Bass's first collection are beset by time. Some are running from it, others trying to stay ahead, and still others racing to recapture its passed-by sweetness.

Review:
Rick Bass is the rarest of writers, someone whose stories I'll read again and again. The Watch is a terrific book. --Bob Shacochis"

[Conveys] excitement. . . . A sense that a potentially significant writer of short stories has emerged. . . . 'The Watch, ' an altogether remarkable story of 'poisoned loneliness, ' . . . has the look of an American classic. --Peter S. Prescott"

Rick Bass owns a durable and authentic voice. I read The Watch with intense pleasure, wondering at the skill of a young writer who can both frighten and amaze. This is a superb debut. --Jim Harrison"

There is enough energy in this book to shake a house.--Clyde Edgerton

One of the truly impressive short story writers of his generation.--George Plimpton
From the Back Cover:
These quirky, brilliant stories launched Rick Bass on his literary career. Set in the South and West, they purse themes of friendship, loyalty, and freedom, of escape, where valiant holdouts refuse to grow up, or to grow old.
