Why read it?
1 author picked One-Sentence Journal as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Sometimes the compelling central character of a book is the author. So it is with this one, by the current poet laureate of Montana. Page after page, I was mesmerized by what La Tray could weave out of a single, seemingly simple thought that, it turned out, contained galaxies of complexity and nuance.
I think La Tray is a true original in Western letters, a man of deep conviction, conscience, humor, righteousness, and love. His talents are on full display here.
From Craig's list on Books featuring characters navigating the contemporary American West.
