Fiction
Dave is fourteen years old, living with his family in a
cabin on Oregon's Mount Hood (or as Dave prefers to call it,
like the Native Americans once did, Wy'east). He is entering
high school, adulthood on the horizon not far off in
distance, and contemplating a future away from his mother,
father, and his precocious younger sister. And Dave is not the only one approaching adulthood and its
freedoms on Wy'east that summer. Martin, a pine marten (a
small animal of the deep woods, of the otter/mink family),
is leaving his own mother and siblings and setting off on
his own as well. As Martin and Dave's paths cross on forest
trails and rocky mountaintops, they—and we—witness the full,
unknowable breadth and vast sweep of life, and the
awe-inspiring interconnectedness of the world and its many
inhabitants, human and otherwise. Martin Marten is a coming-of-age tale like no other, told in
Brian Doyle's joyous, rollicking style
