Sun River - Ben Nickol

. .

Résumé :
Ben Nickol's SUN RIVER is an exquisitely crafted and thoroughly engaging book of short stories set in North Idaho and Western Montana. Struggling with decisions made by and for them, Nickol's men and women bicker and yearn in off-putting witticisms and common sense wisdom.

However flawed and desperate, they try, they endure, hopeful and defiant. Illuminated by hard-won insights, Nickol's SUN RIVER is a meditative, rewarding read.--Marc Bojanowski...
