the people gamble, drink beer, gossip, and watch
football i'n I \ He describes the physical dangers of
wilderness life getting lost in a bli::ard; sudden ava
Ians lies; how a sham saw van rip open your leg; the
omnipresent threat of tire.
And, with his usual insight, Bass describes the an
guish and pitfalls of being a w riter, his constant lav k
of money, his nightmares and depressions, the living
and dead writers he feels a kinship with.
