Book Synopsis
John Price's Man Killed by Pheasant is a loving ode to the prairies of the Midwest, to west central Iowa, and to family connections that stretch from his Swedish ancestors to his parents to his wife and children. Throughout he embraces 'the opportunity, as always, to settle, to remember, and be ready.' This quest sounds more portentous than it is once enriched with Price's gentle humour and endearing empathy. Sharing stories of home, secrets of landscape, and binding ties to both, he weaves history and memory to create permanent kinships for himself and for his readers.
