Product Description:
This book is a classic celebration of winter in a remote Montana valley.

Teenagers write better blogs. And this book is just the author's blog. That's all that this book can aspire to. It's just day in, day out of the author's most inner personal feelings and...but wait...nothing ever happens and the author is as shallow as an elk piss puddle. I read to the part where the author starts to cut wood for the winter. I thought, how boring. So I jumped about 35 pages. Still cutting wood. Jumped again. Still cutting wood.
So if you want to watch this guy cut ... Read More

Rick Bass's "Winter" is a short account of a winter spent with his girlfriend housesitting a ranch in a remote valley in Montana. Rick was a writer; his girlfriend Elizabeth an artist; both were experiencing their first real Northern winter, the kind that closes in and dominates your life for months at a time.
As the subtitle notes, it really is "notes from Montana." Rick turns out to be a competent writer, observant and appreciative of the relatively unspoiled Yaak Valley and the solitude ... Read More

Looking through books for ones to send to the thrift store, this one leapt to the fore. Each of the three times I've sat down to read it, I've soon set it aside, thinking 'life's too short to spend with books like this.' Rick Bass may be a great guy (some reviewers point out that he is), but this book is forced and soulless. Within my own experience with environmental nonfiction, "nature writing" as some will call it, I can think of nothing with which this book would compare well. Teale's 'Wandering Through ... Read More

Having experienced the Yaak during winter, a few years in a row, I know what it's like... Kinda boring but very pretty. That was a few years ago, when I was a young teenager. I knew Rick and his family; I went to school with his daughters. In fact, his oldest daughter was one of my best friends. I remember one time I stayed over at their house with another one of our friends and we played hide-and-seek, and Rick was the seeker. It was a lot of fun. Anyway, I actually haven't read any of his books, I just wanted ... Read More

I am Doug Hiser, author of The Honey Bee Girl, Wink-Eye Creek, Crow Canyon, and Secret Grotto. Rick Bass is an author who resides in his own genre. Winter is a fabulous book and I did not want it to end. Bass brought the world of Montana to me down here in Texas. Rick Bass is a master author with incredible description and odd yet powerful storytelling. The Watch was the first book I read by Bass and his short stories were intriguing and profound. He has been a tremendous influence on my own books. Winter ... Read More
