Description - The Country Ahead of Us, the Country Behind by David Guterson

A piercing collection of short stories set in the Pacific Northwest from the PEN/Faulkner Award-winning writer of Snow Falling on Cedars

Guterson's beautifully observed and emotionally sharp short stories are set largely in the Pacific Northwest, an area he knew very well. In these vast landscapes, hunting, fishing, and sports are the givens of men's lives, but so too are regrets, wrong turns, lost opportunities, and quiet reflections. They remember their mistakes, their lies and their first loves with intense and lingering recollections.

With prose that stings like the scent of gunpowder, this is a collection of great power.
