Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
In four decades of writing for magazines ranging from Texas Monthly to the Atlantic, American History, and Travel Holiday, Stephen Harrigan has established himself as one of Americas most thoughtful writers. In this careerspanning anthology, which gathers together essays from two previous booksA Natural State and Comanche Midnightas well as previously uncollected work, readers finally have a comprehensive collection of Harrigans best nonfiction.Historynatural history, human history, and personal historyand place are the cornerstones of The Eye of the Mammoth. But the specific history or place varies considerably from essay to essay. Harrigans career has taken him from the Alaska Highway to the Chihuahuan Desert, from the casinos of Monaco to his ancestors village in the Czech Republic. Texas is the subject of a number of essays, and a force in shaping others, as in The Anger of Achilles, in which a nineteenthcentury painting moves the author despite his possessing a Texans suspicion of serious culture. Harrigans deceptively straightforward voice, however, belies an intense curiosity about things that, by his own admission, may be unknowable. Certainly, we are limited in what we can know about the inner life of George Washington, the last days of Davy Crockett, or the motives of a caged tiger, but Harrigans gifta gift that has also made him an awardwinning novelistis to bring readers closer to such things, to make them less remote, just as a cave painting in the title essay eerily transmits the living stare of a longextinct mammoth.
