Rent The Lives of Rocks

Synopsis

Rick Bass has been quietly astounding fiction readers for years with his distinctive prose. The Lives of Rocks finds him at the top of his form with a collection of short fiction that is at once exquisitely crafted and undeniably moving. Set in Montana, Texas, and Mississippi, these ten stories explore Bass’s signature theme of humankind’s relationship with the environment. The title story deals with the limits of human isolation in the wilderness; in “Pagans,” three childhood friends look back on the dangerous games of their youth; in “Her First Elk,” a woman recalls her most significant hunting experience. These stories are distinguished by their maturity and depth.
