    Praise for Roger Real Drouin and NO OTHER WAY


    “Drouin’s debut novel...is lyrical and poetic, soft and whispering, telling us, ‘It is a hope as light and fragile as the shadows flying through the tall grass”’-Grey Sparrow Journal

    “ His prose is fluid and poetic. Drouin is definitely a writer to keep an eye on.”-Martin Lastrapes, author of Inside the Outside, winner of the Paris Book Festival Grand Prize.

    “...writes with a great sensitivity for detail...brings the reader deep into a natural setting.'-Murrary Dunlap, author of Bastard Blue and Alabama.
    “Drouin writes about nature with an innate sense of poetry...No Other Way soars for a thousand miles.”-Steel Toe Review

    Roger Real Drouin manages to capture the natural beauty of nature in nothing more than words and to do so in abundance....a gem in the literary world.”-Dan Schwartz, author of No Cure for Nature

    “...beautifully textured images...staggering metaphors...magic still exists.”-Sheldon Lee Compton, author of The Same Terrible Storm

    As Samuel Leaton searches for the believed-extinct Northern Stilted Curlew, he struggles with the memory of his wife, who died a year earlier from cancer. Deep in the woods, he encounters Thomas, a forest ranger who has a run-in with the law, and together they will make a trek to the far reaches of Wilson Sanford National Forest's northern glacial lakes to prove the Curlew exists-and to make a final stand to save it’s last breeding ground.

      This novel is about two men and a near-mythical bird.Samuel is a famous bird photographer who is also dealing with his wife's death from cancer a year earlier. He is very familiar with the story of the Northern Stilted Curlew. It is a bird that has not been photographed in the wild in many years. That is because it may, or may not, be extinct. It is the bird watcher's equivalent of the Holy Grail.The Curlew migrates several thousand miles each year. Among its last untouched nesting areas is in the northern reaches of the Sanford National Forest in Utah. There are no roads; the area is accessible only after several days of hiking. Samuel makes the trek to look for the Curlew.Things are complicated by a natural gas corporation getting the required permits to beging fracking inside the forest. There will not be just a few wells; there will be many wells, including in the Curlew's nesting area.Thomas is a forest ranger who has had a run-in with the law. He did a stupid thing, but for the right reasons. He and Samuel put their heads together and see if they can do something to stop the fracking, and preserve a small piece of untouched wilderness.This an excellent piece of writing. Drouin shows that he knows, and cares, a lot for the natural environment. This is very much recommended.
