Literary Art and Activism of Rick Bass

"An insightful look at Rick Bass's environmental advocacy and his artistic achievement, this collection places Bass's writing squarely at the forefront of contemporary American nature writing."--Ann Ronald, University of Nevada, Reno "Clearly, the energy in Bass's prose stimulates equally energetic responses in the maturing field of ecocriticism.... These essays make an important contribution to the field."--ISLE: Interdisciplinary Studies in Literature and Environment "Even a sampling of this volume's essays reveals that it informs readers not only about Rick Bass and his work but also about the fast developing fields of environmental literature, literary ecology, and ecocriticism."--Southwestern American Literature
