MY STORY AS TOLD BY WATER
Jim Harrison: “This book is the Desert Solitaire for water.”
The Oregonian: “For all its focused fury, My Story as told by Water is ultimately about the many forms and faces of love.”
Bellingham Herald: “Imagine Beethoven’s “Ode to Joy” as an environmental essay.”
Deseret Utah News: “This isn’t a book for anyone but deep readers and thinkers. Also, there’s some profanities.”
Judges’ citation, 2001 National Book Awards: “Duncan’s reflections on rivers, salmon, the lands of the West and the earth itself spill off the page with wit, wisdom, and occasional fury. My Story as Told by Water is an education. Like fast water, the lively, trenchant prose pushes and spins, engages and agitates in the tradition of America’s finest essayists.”
