Book Reviews of The Lives of Rocks
Book Review: A writer to further explore
Summary: 4 Stars
Rick Bass and Terry Tempest Williams gave a presentation together at our Book Festival this year. The short stories in this book have been my first experience reading his works. I found them to be creative, intense and well written. There was a feeling of despair about the present human condition and state of our world through out the book, though not overwhelming. That said, these stories are well worth reading and probably should be read and their underlying message pondered.
Bass is a fascinating writer and I plan to read more of his work.
