Descriere magazin:
A kind of homemade book--imperfect like a handmade thing, a prize. It\'s a galloping, spontaneous book, on occasion within whooping distance of that greatest and sweetest of country books, Ivan Turgenev\'s A Sportsman\'s Notebook.--Edward Hoagland, New York Times Book ReviewHis subjects are trees and brush, hired help, fences, soil, armadillos and other wildlife, flood and drought, local history, sheep and goats . . . and they come to us reshaped and reenlivened by his agreeably individual (and sometimes cranky) notions.--New YorkerIf Goodbye to a River was in some sense Graves\'s Odyssey, this book is his [version of Hesiod\'s] Works and Days. It is partly a book about work, partly a book about nature, but mostly a book about belonging. In the end John Graves has learned to belong to his patch of land so thoroughly that at moments he can sense in himself a unity with medieval peasants and Sumerian farmers, working with their fields by the Tigris.--Larry McMurtry, Washington Post Book WorldHard Scrabble is hard pastoral of the kind we have learned to recognize in Wordsworth, Frost, Hemingway, and Faulkner. It celebrates life in accommodation with a piece of the \'given\' creation, a recalcitrant four hundred or so acres of Texas cedar brake, old field, and creek bottom, which will require of any genuine resident all the character he can muster.--Southwest Review
