Praises, Reviews & Interviews:
“Terrific book, a cycle of short fictions set in and around treeplanting contracts and camps in British Columbia—love and loss, the tough economy of living off the grid, men and women finding ways of working together in some very demanding conditions. The first four stories won a major Hopwood Award in short fiction from the University of Michigan.
De Vries is a charming writer, a cross between Edward Abbey and John Steinbeck, yet a complete original. These stories get right into your heart.”
“I have discussed the matter at some length with Frans Vander Grove and we agree that the time has come to reveal these stories in book form.
The cover image may or may not be Dan De Vries. That matter is still being debated in certain circles.”
