Summary:
For the past three decades Rick Bass, long considered one of the most gifted practitioners of the short story, has been unsurpassed in his ability to perceive and portray the enduring truths of the human heart. To read his fiction is to feel more alive, connected, incandescently, to "the brief longshot of having been chosen for the human experience', as one of his characters puts it.
