The Black Grizzly of Whiskey Creek
“Marty’s latest,The Black Grizzly of Whiskey Creek, is a work of poetic genius. The book combines the best of hard investigative reporting with the narrative power of the finest literary journalism. It moves along at the clip of a detective story. It’s also a daring work of the imagination — much of the action unfolds from the perspective of a bear... It’s as good as nature writing gets.”— Terry Glavin, author ofWaiting for the Macaws and Other Stories from the Age of ExtinctionPraise for Switchbacks“Some chapters will have your adrenalin coursing and your heart pounding; one or two others may make you weep. All of them will thrill you with the concrete vitality of landscape and language.” —Globe and MailPraise for Men for the Mountains“This is a tour-de-force . . . with something vital to tell the myopic city dweller about what is happening to him in the Age of the Machine.” — Farley MowatFrom the Hardcover edition.
