The Country Ahead of Us, The Country Behind by David Guterson

The Country Ahead of Us, The Country Behind by David Guterson

Like his PEN/Faulkner Award-winning national bestseller, Snow Falling on Cedars, David Guterson's beautifully observed and emotionally piercing short stories are set largely in the Pacific Northwest. In those vast landscapes, hunting, fishing, and sports are the givens of men's lives. But although Guterson's characters go into the wilderness in search of mallards or silver trout, they discover other things instead: the decay of their youthful ardor; the motiveless cruelty of strangers; their own capacity for deception and grief.

David Guterson is the author of five novels: Snow Falling on Cedars, which won the PEN/Faulkner and American Booksellers Association Book of the Year Awards; East of the Mountains; Our Lady of the Forest, which was named a New York TimesNotable Book and a Los Angeles Times and Seattle Post-Intelligencer Best Book of the Year; The Other; and Ed King. He's also the author of two nonfiction books, Family Matters: Why Homeschooling Makes Sense and Descent: A Memoir of Madness, as well as a prior story collection, The Land Ahead of Us, the Country Behind; a poetry collection, Songs for a Summons; and a poetry collection, Songs for a Summons. He lives in Washington State and is a recipient of a Guggenheim Fellowship.
