Fiction
William Kittredge’s relationship to the spare, often
unforgiving Western landscape is fraught with
contradictions. Having grown up on a cattle ranch in Oregon,
he has an intimate connection to the vast landscape that was
once vital to his family’s trade. He has also witnessed,
over many decades, the depletion of the West’s natural
resources due to overuse. These luminous essays move
effortlessly from the personal to the political. With grace
and integrity, Kittredge directly confronts the myths that
lie at the heart of the Western experience: male freedom and
female domesticity, the wild and the tame, self-interest and
the love of the land. On the heels of Kittredge’s first novel, The Willow Field,
published to wide critical acclaim in 2006, we are pleased
to offer the best of his nonfiction writings.
