About this listen

“Animals and landscapes have not had this weight, this precision, in American fiction since Hemingway's young heroes were fishing the streams of upper Michigan and Spain.” (San Francisco Chronicle)

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 by the National Book Award-winning author of Arctic Dreams.

In these resonant and unpredictable stories Barry Lopez proves that he is one of the most important and original writers at work in America today. With breathtaking skill and a few deft strokes he produces painfully beautiful scenes. Combining the real with the wondrous, he offers us a pure vision of people alive to the immediacy and spiritual truth of nature.

A Wordsmith of Mithril Quality

Absolutely a must read/listen.

Lopez' ability to delicately and precisely express a physical reality or a mental or emotional state evokes a sense and appreciation of his immense intellect and profound artistic sensibility.

Tolkien, Tolstoy, Garcia Marquez have nothing on him except their extended narratives.

Lopez is a painter whose words and phrases parallel the Impressionists' desire to break light to its most minute elements while always remaining aware of the viewer's perspective. Lopez seems to both care and not care about the reader as he delves into the most amazing introspection.

Reading Lopez or hearing the wonderful Audible offerings is a profoundly moving and spiritual experience.

How I wish I could have met him.
