The Literary Art and Activism of Rick Bass
In his controversial 1998 book Fiber, Rick Bass introduced a troubling dilemma of the literary artist and activist: How can any nature writer engage in celebration of the natural world in the face of environmental degradation? Perhaps, Bass speculated, the "activist is the artist's ashes," the identity that emerges finally from charred remains of a "pure" devotion to the art of nature writing. In The Literary Art and Activism of Rick Bass, the first comprehensive collection of literary criticism to address Bass's work, fifteen scholars elucidate the development of social, political, and personal issues in Bass's fiction and nonfiction.

Rick Bass is a master at his craft. He deserves to be as well known as James Patterson and Lee Child. Rick is proof that not all Texans are Trump-worshipping bumpkins intent on covering every acre of the state with concrete and asphalt.
