For Barry Lopez and Debra Gwartney
There have been some big ideas every now and again that masquerade as truth, or shortcuts to truth ideas that find cunning attachment to the lock-and-key architecture of the hemispheric globes of our brains. These artificial truths weigh as heavily upon us, I suppose, as a deep blanket of snow, or even a covering of stones. They try to bury us and, over time, sometimes they succeed. Where I live, in a tiny garden of Eden in northwest Montana, up against the Canadian border the beleaguered Yaak Valley we have only 25 grizzly bears remaining, the problem being that the US Forest Service keeps building roads deep into the forest and clearcutting the mountains. I know, I know, there’s a pandemic, but hear me out about these bad ideas the trouble they get us into, once they’ve attached to our gray-matter and then replicate, first in individuals, then populations, then cultures, then globally.

âMaybe itâs fatigue with social media and the confessional tone of reality television,â says the author of the new novel âThe Cold Millions,â âbut I get claustrophobic spending too much time in the head of another writer.â
What books are on your night stand?
âThe Death of Vivek Oji,â by Akwaeke Emezi, âThe New Wilderness,â by Diane Cook, âInterior Chinatown,â by Charles Yu, and âSand,â by Wolfgang Herrndorf.
Whatâs the last great book you read?
Sarah M. Broomâs âThe Yellow House.â And I finally read Hilary Mantelâs âWolf Hallâ this summer. (Sometimes, when everyone is reading a book, I avoid it like itâs a trendy restaurant. Now, 10 years later, I canât find anyone to talk about it. I sure hope thereâs a sequel.)
