      The stories in this collection are varied and artfully written. Barry Lopez is very good at taking you to a place where you think you know you’re going – then slewing into a new – but perfectly done –direction. The title story is a vicious example. Others gently and gracefully explore our deepest emotions (Remembering Orchards, The Letters of Heaven). A worthwhile collection.
    • 4/5
      Light Action offers many calm, beautiful and captivating stories that feel like they are being told in the strong and easy voice of one of the main characters, Emory.For me, the book would have been a monumental Perfect 5 if "The Mappist" - truly brilliant - had been featured in place of the totally unpleasant and unwelcome Title Story.
