A collection of short stories. Each story is about a person living outside the dominant consumer exploitative culture of North America. There are some nice passages of description of nature, of of appreciation for simple, ancient crafts. The best story is the one set in the south-west U.S. as I think this is the landscape and culture he has spent the most time thinking about.
A little bit contrived sounding at times, perhaps pretentious or recherché, but still worth reading.
