The book to have on a deserted island.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 26 years ago
This collection of short stories chronicles an era. "Walking Out" by David Quammen is a haunting story of a boy's passage into manhood. The interaction of and the depiction of characters in "Testimony of Pilot" is spectatular. Every story is priceless and compelling. I lent my copy out more than seven years ago and have been trying to locate a replacement ever since. Tobias Wolff compiled a masterpiece in Matters of Life and Death.
