Description: "These classic stories by the author of The Ox-Bow Incident reflect Clark's literary power and the major themes of his writing career. Clark was one of the modern West's most significant writers, among the first to explore the fragile, intricate interactions between humankind and the West's vast and often haunted landscape, as well as the interior and intuitive complexities of good and evil. This edition includes "Hook," Clark's most renowned story, and a foreword by literary critic Ann Ronald that sets the stories into the context of Clark's oeuvre and career."--Jacket.
