Fiction
Ellen Meloy describes a corner of desert hard by the San
Juan River in southeastern Utah, a place long forsaken as
implausible and impassable, of little use or value--a place
that she calls home. Despite twenty years of carefully
nurtured intimacy with this red-rock landscape, Meloy finds
herself, one sunbaked morning, staring down at a dead lizard
floating in her coffee and feeling suddenly unmoored. What
follows is a quest that is both physical and spiritual, a
search for home.
