The Country Ahead of us the Country Behind
David Guterson
Guterson clearly hadn't a clue what makes a good short story (unlike
Salinger). The stories in this book, not recommended, just don't work.
They are all set in familiar Guterson territory, and feature lots of
Iron-John stuff, manly pursuits and hunting. Don't read it.
