Description
In a debut novel from Green Writers Press by Jonathan Howland, the austere beauty and high exposure of mountain adventure provide the context and the measure for what it means to be alive for climbing partners Joe Holland and Pete Hunter -- until one of them isnt. When the book opens, its the mid-80s. Joe Holland, the novels narrator, is a climber and a seeker, but mostly hes Pete Hunters shadow. The two meet in college and spend the next ten years living at the base of any rock that appears show more scalable, most of them near Yosemite and Californias High Sierra. The joys and strains of their friendship comprise the novels first half. In the second, the bare bones -- obsession, grief, love, and repair -- come into stark relief when Petes grown son Will calls Joe back into climbing, into the past, and into breathless vitality. show lessMembers
