In The Deer Pasture, Rick Bass writes about a family tradition: each year, for more than fifty years, three generations of men in the Bass family have leased the same tract of land in the Texas hill country. More than a place to stalk the white-tail, this is a place to get together, chase armadillos, swap campfire stories, listen to quail, make biscuits, and enjoy the antics of ringtails. It's the sort of place where a man is only as good as his dog, where memories last longer, where the hunter's moon is the perfect light for chasing raccoons. Most important, it is a place to recharge the spirit and renew family ties. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |

~~back cover
And love for his family. And a testimony to the process of growning up, of becoming a man, and a subtle documentary of Southern culture.
I've always been opposed to hunting. It seemed to me to be brutal and unnecessary, a pale echo of the orgy of slaughter that took place in the 1700s and 1800s. But when I was surveying up in the Sierras for the Forest Service, I'd come across hunting camps, sometimes cabins, and think how wonderful it would be to spend time in them, even live in them. And how glorious to spend your days in the forest, although not with the purpose of killing a deer, not with the purpose of getting a trophy for your wall. Rick Bass takes you with him into the woods, and transforms the experience into a bonding with the land, an exploration into yourself; a knowledge purchased by long hours of patience and silence, by misses and near misses and spectacular wins. Not every hunter understands the subtler reasons why he (or she) enjoys hunting, or that it's much more than a sport. But Rick Bass does, and he'll let you in on the secret if you read this book.
