While not all of the stories in here measure up to the best of the ones he's read on the radio, this is a solid collection. Carrier is a good storyteller, with more than a touch of the darkness inside us all (some perhaps more than others). It's for this darkness and the simple joys (often discovered through nature) he occasionally counters it with that I like him. ( ) sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
"Scott Carrier has been traveling the West in search of stories for the better part of his life. Since 1983, some of what he's found has been broadcast on National Public Radio's "All Things Considered" and most recently on Public Radio International's "This American Life." Running After Antelope collects the best of these radio pieces, as well as longer stories written for Harper's and Esquire." "Like In Our Time, which unifies its disparate contents through between-the-acts episodes drawn from Hemingway's war experiences, Running After Antelope strings its many-colored beads on a single narrative thread - Carrier's ongoing, passionate attempt to run down a pronghorn antelope. Scenes from this picaresque quest - odd, inspired, and most times futile - are juxtaposed with stories about little league, sibling rivalry, falling in love, and working in the journalist's trade. Together they form a most unique record of a most unique life, a life that embraces discovery and celebrates pursuit for the sake of the chase."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
