The Sky, the Stars, the Wilderness by Rick Bass

4.0

In the spirit of Steinbeck, Kingsolver, and possibly London, this fiction covers a broad range of environments and a dash of environmentalism, drawing you in with characters you identify with. This is my first Rick Bass, but I can certainly see myself pulling more of his books off the shelf. Only 4 stars?! Well, there were moments that dragged a little, but it's probably 4.5 (were that possible) and it shouldn't turn you away from reading it. I particularly enjoyed the middle story entitled "Where The Sea Used To Be," originally published in the Paris Review Also...it's a quick read if you're looking for something to read on a plane or a short beach trip.
