An honest reckoning of an American myth, rendered with enormous eloquence and visionary sweep.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFront Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWilliam Kittredge's stunning memoir is at once autobiography, a family chronicle, and a Westerner's settling of accounts with the land he grew up in. This is the story of a grandfather whose single-minded hunger for property won him a ranch the size of Delaware but estranged him from his family; of a father who farmed with tractors and drainage ditches but consorted with movie stars; and of Kittredge himself, who was raised by cowboys and saw them become obsolete, who floundered through three marriages, hard drinking, and madness before becoming a writer. Host hauntingly, Hole in the Sky is an honest reckoning of the American myth that drove generations of Americans westward -- and what became of their dream after they reached the edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eWilliam Kittredge\u003c\/b\u003e is the author, \u003ci\u003eThe Willow Field, \u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eThe Nature of Generosity\u003c\/i\u003e, among others, and, with Annick Smith, he edited \u003ci\u003eThe Last Best Place: A Montana Anthology\u003c\/i\u003e.
