title: The Big Sky Reader: A Treasury of the Best Writing from Big Sky Journal
author: Allen Jones
description: Wetmore, founder of Big Sky Journal, and Jones, its editor, have thoughtfully and affectionately selected some of the best stories and essays written about the American West for this collection. These pieces evoke a feeling of place that permeates the reader's senses. The West is seen in a variety of ways: to William Kittredge, it is "a candy-apple kingdom" as well as a place to hike, fish, be alone, and be with people. It is, as Ralph Beers quotes Edward Abbey, "the most beautiful place on Earth." The personal reflections of each author create a moving vision of a part of America that is much traveled, studied, photographed, and, in this collection, loved. For a more critical perspective on the New West see Timothy Egan's Lasso the Wind (LJ 9/1/98). Highly recommended for all libraries.?Cynde Bloom Lahey, New Canaan Lib., CT<br />Copyright 1998 Reed Business Information, Inc.
