Review:

A glorious selection of seven short stories.

Capturing the sense of silence and emptiness on the Great Plains, like you are there.

“A Wagner Matinee” is amazing and also very tragic. In the true sense of that word.

“The Inconceivable Silence of the Plains”

Last trains and slow sunsets, snow and frozen fields. First sap rising in the spring to the last leaf falling in the autumn.

If I had a 6th star I’d give that as well.

This book made me want to: listen to Tannhäuser
