Wild Marsh（ISBN=） 英文原版

　　”The Wild Marsh “is Rick Bass’s most mature, full account of
life in the Yaak and a crowning achievement in his celebrated
career. It begins with his family settling in for the long Montana
winter, and captures all the subtle harbingers of change that mark
each passing month — the initial cruel teasing of spring, the
splendor and fecundity of summer, and the bittersweet memories
evoked by fall. It is full of rich observation about what it takes
to live in the valley — ruggedness, improvisation and, of course,
duct tape. “The Wild Marsh “is also tremendously poignant,
especially when Bass reflects on what it means for his young
daughters to grow up surrounded by the strangeness and wonder of
nature. He shares with them the Yaak’s little secrets — where the
huckleberries are best in a dry year, where to find a grizzly’s
claw marks in an old cedar — and discovers that passing on this
intimate local knowledge, the knowledge of home, is a kind of rare
and valuable love. Bass emerges not just as a writer but as a
father, a neighbor, and a gifted observer, uniquely able to bring
us close to the drama and sanctity of small things, ensuring that
though the wilderness is increasingly at risk, the voice of the
wilderness will not disappear.
