Book Review: Our Story as Told By Water
Summary: 5 Stars
My Story as Told by Water is a fantastic read for anyone who has spent time along, on or in the streams and rivers, or who lives or works in the wider watersheds West of the Continental Divide. David James Duncan has an uncanny ability to put you back in the places you may have been, or places like the places you have been, and then he shows you things you might have missed, or might have taken for granted. Duncan has characters in his fiction, and in his essays, step forward and speak from the heart but with facts and truth on their side. Some might call this "preachy," I call it electrifying. He is not playing games. He is not soft-peddling the true crises that are staring us in the face. I too have seen rivers choked by silt and landslides from logging. I too have seen dams bury spawning beds. I too have seen so many caring thoughtful people oblivious to their contributions to the collective tragedy that is the destruction of our life blood--our rivers and streams. Hats off, bow at the waist, and a hearty thank you. This collection of essays is funny, it is tragic, it is creative and it will stay in your heart for a long time after you finish reading it.
