Trade paperback. Condición: Good. THE HEART OF THE MONSTER consists of a 130-page essay by David James Duncan and a 130-page novella by Rick Bass. Duncan?s essay, entitled ?The Heart of the Monster,? is a protest of the plan by oil corporations and politicians to turn the Northwest?s and Northern Rockies? rivers, roads and wilderness into a tentacle of the largest and most destructive petroleum project in history: the Alberta Tar Sands. Bass?s novella, ?A Short History of Montana, is a portrait of the backward evolution of a fictitious political figure as Big Oil and Big Energy?s concepts of power begin to stew in his head and eat away his heart. David James Duncan is an American novelist and essayist, best known for his two bestselling novels, The River Why and The Brothers K . Both involve fly fishing, baseball, and family. Both received the Pacific Northwest Booksellers award; The Brothers K was a New York Times Notable Book in 1992 and won a Best Books Award from the American Library Association. Rick Bass is an American writer and an environmental activist. Bass was born in Fort Worth, Texas, the son of a geologist, and he studied petroleum geology at Utah State University. He started writing short stories on his lunch breaks while working as a petroleum geologist in Jackson, Mississippi. In 1987, he moved with his wife, the artist Elizabeth Hughes, to the remote Yaak Valley near Troy, Montana, where he worked to protect his adopted home from roads and logging. Rick has served on the board of the Yaak Valley Forest Council and Round River Conservation Studies. He was a finalist for the Story Prize in 2007 for his short story collection The Lives of Rocks. He was a finalist for the 2008 National Book Critics Circle Award (autobiography) for Why I Came West (2008).…
