My review of
The Spirit Bird: Stories (
University of Pittsburgh Press) by
Kent Nelson, winner of the
Drue Heinz Literature Prize, was published in the new edition of
High Country News. From the review:
The Spirit Bird: Stories, winner of the Drue Heinz Literature Prize, is Kent Nelson�s latest collection of short fiction. Nelson�s stories feature diverse protagonists � a young single mother, a rabble-rousing Southern lawyer, a restless empty-nester � as well as an unusually vivid sense of place � the chile fields of New Mexico, the resort towns of Colorado, suburban Seattle � that establishes the land as an essential character in the stories. The people in Spirit Bird are trying to break out of their lives, and they share one major trait: dissatisfaction. They�re exploring, pushing boundaries, looking seriously at their own lives and asking, �Really? What now?�
