oakwrought 's review for:
A River Runs through It and Other Stories
by Norman Maclean
This book was a real challenge to get through. The first story held by far the most meaning and interest to me, but it still felt like a slog until the end. I think the fact that I primarily read in the evenings did not help in making progress. I am glad to have read this book, especially as a gift for an academic prize, but I found it meandering. There were bits of prose that struck me, but in between was a lot of what just felt like a listing of events. It is certainly a look into an era of forestry and americas relationship to the environment that was interesting. I may revisit a river runs through it or USFS 1919 again.
