Two volumes of fiction from the National Book Award–winning author
of Arctic Dreams: “Lopez feels a deep spiritual connection to the
natural world.” —San Francisco Chronicle To National Book
Award–winning author Barry Lopez, the desert and the river are
landscapes alive with poetry, mystery, seduction, and enchantment. In
these two works of fiction, the narrator responds viscerally and
emotionally to their moods and changes, their secrets and silences,
and their unique power. Desert Notes portrays the mystical power of
an American desert, and the reflections it sparks in the characters
who travel there. River Notes, a companion piece, celebrates the wild
life forces of a river, calling readers to think deeply on identity
and about the hopefulness of their onward journeys, with a lyrical
collection of memories, stories, and dreams. From an evocative tale of
finding a hot spring in a desert to a meditation on the thoughts and
dreams of herons, Lopez offers enthralling stories that enable us to
see and feel the rhythms of the wilderness. These sojourns bring
readers a specific sense of the darkness, light, and resolve that we
encounter within ourselves when away from home. This ebook features
an illustrated biography of Barry Lopez including rare images and
never-before-seen documents from the author’s personal collection.
