Description
“Fire Season both evokes and honors the good hermit celebrants of nature, from Dillard to Kerouac to Thoreau—and I loved it.”
—J.R. Moehringer, writer of The Tender Bar
“[Connors’s] adventures in radical solitude make for profoundly soaking up, restorative reading.”
—Walter Kirn, writer of Up within the Air
Phillip Connors is an enormous new voice in American nonfiction, and his remarkable debut, Fire Season, is destined to grow to be a up to date classic. An soaking up chronicle of the times and nights of one of the most last fire lookouts within the American West, Fire Season is a marvel of a book, as rugged and soulful as Matthew Crawford’s bestselling Shop Class as Soulcraft, and it instantly places Connors within the august company of Edward Abbey, Annie Dillard, Aldo Leopold, Barry Lopez, and others within the respected fraternity of hard-boiled nature writers.
