No Synopsis Available
Platte River is a collection of three novellas, each a singular exploration of the human heart set against the backdrop of God''s creation. Filled with arresting images—chinook winds flying through a valley, couples skating in the dark on thin ice, tools made from animal bones, a delicate shape frozen in a river—“Mahatma Joe” is about an evangelist who settles in Grass Valley, Montana, and the woman who becomes obsessed with his vision of the world. In “Field Events” a woman falls in love with a man even larger than her discus-tossing brothers. And the title novella, “Platte River,” portrays one man''s lyric meditation on loneliness, the nature of peace, and the quest for love.
