Colter by Rick Bass
COLTER pairs one of America's most treasured writers with our most treasured best friend. Colter, a German shorthair pup, was the runt of the litter, and Rick Bass took him only because nobody else would. Soon, though, Colter surprised his new owner, first with his raging genius, then with his innocent ability to lead Bass to new territory altogether, a place where he felt instantly more alive and more connected to the world. Distinguished by crystalline, see-through-to-the-bottom prose (Rocky Mountain News), this interspecies love story vividly captures the essence of canine companionship, and yet, as we've come to expect from Rick Bass, it does far more. With an elegant, often erudite flavor to this story (Book Page), COLTER illuminates the heart of life by recreating the sheer, unmitigated pleasure of an afternoon in the Montana hills with a loyal pup bounding at your side.Rick Bass is the author of twenty-seven books, including The Wild Marsh, Why I Came West, and The Lives of Rocks, among other works of fiction and nonfiction. His works have been nominees for the National Book Critics Circle Award, the Los Angeles Times Book Award, and the New York Times and Los Angeles Times Best Book of the Year. The National Endowment for the Arts and the Guggenheim Foundation have also given him fellowships, and his short stories and essays have garnered O. The stories have been anthologized in Best American Short Stories, Best American Travel Writing, and Best Spiritual Writing, and have won the Henry and Pushcart Awards.
