Billy Watson's Croker Sack
Burroughs, a transplanted South Carolinian now living in Maine, writes of fishing, hunting, and the rural life. A skillful stylist, he infuses such subjects as snapping turtles and moose with sensitivity and humor, illustrating the close connection between humans and the natural world. Of particular note is "Of Moose and a Moose Hunter," a tragicomic account of taking his daughter to see a recently shot moose hanging in a neighbor's garage. Yet despite these insightful and entertaining pieces, too much of the book is devoted to the mysteries of hunting and fishing to make it appealing for general audiences.-Nancy R.
