Good Night, Mr. Night is a charming bedtime board book
story. It sweetly evokes the delight of falling asleep utterly relaxed and
feeling exquisitely loved. I highly recommend this for a newborn to 3 years
old. It's a sure hit. --Betsy Dickow
William Kittredge has a new novel, "The Willow Field." It
encompasses the lifetime of its narrator, Rossi, a young man born in the
Great Basin. As with all of Kittredge's work, the narrative is reserved but
evocative, and the story is impeccable. It is a work of fiction but
historically rich and rife with accurate depictions of families and places,
ranches and life. Kittredge grew up at a time when traditional manifest
destiny was given way to the Twentieth Century, and this novel, as much as
his nonfiction, explores what that loss means and what comes next. Maybe, by
taking the narrative through the 1990s, Kittredge find answers that work as
well in the real world as they do in this fiction.
