Description
Book SynopsisIn his eighty-seven years, Norman Maclean played many parts: fisherman, logger, firefighter, scholar, teacher. But it was a role he took up late in life, that of writer, that won him enduring fame and critical acclaim. This reader serves as an introduction for readers new to Maclean, while offering fans fresh insight into his life and career.
Trade Review"Smartly edited... the book brings together manuscripts and letters found among Maclean's papers after his death in 1990, as well as hard-to-find essays, lectures, and interviews. Maclean did not draw a distinction between his life and his fiction, and the material in the Reader, much of it available for the first time, burnishes his achievement." (Wall Street Journal) "A solid, satisfying, well-made body of work by a patient craftsman." (Julia Keller, Chicago Tribune)"
