From the National Book Award-winning author of Arctic Dreams comes a timeless, intoxicating collection of evocative stories.
A flock of great blue herons descending through a snowstorm to the streets of New York … A river in Nebraska disappearing mysteriously … A ghostly herd of buffalo that sings a song of death … A mystic who raises constellations of stones from the desert floor … All these are to be found in Winter Count, the exquisite and rapturous collection of stories by a multiaward–winning author.
These resonant and unpredictable stories reveal the author’s breathtaking skill in producing painfully beautiful scenes. Combining the real with the wondrous, the stories offer a pure vision of people alive to the immediacy and spiritual truth of nature.
