  • A welcome book for those of us who love the well-wrought essay.
    —Tony Hillerman

     

    This collection offers a refreshing account of [Ireland’s] experience of the American West … whose appeal is delightfully idiosyncratic and universally human.
    —Publishers Weekly

     

    There ought to be a name for this genre … [but] people who bond with “place” and then write about it with philosophical comments and profound/funny/zen-like observations along the way is a bit cumbersome.
    —Pam Hanna
