Hole in the sky
I cant believe I'm the first one to rate this book. What power.
A memoir of his life and his struggles trying to live out his grandfathers dream of the land, knowing it is not him, knowing it is wrong, and finally coming to terms with that.
Having spent summers on my grandfathers farm, some parts of this book struck me as my life: "my people sent me to the desert as a child so I would learn how to work. My life since has been colored by what I got those four of five summers with those men".
Yet as he tried to live out his grandfathers dream he began to see what he was doing...."the ecology of the valley was complex beyond our understanding, and it began to die as we went on manipulating it in even more frantic ways. As it went dead and empty of the old life it became a place where no one wanted to live."
The result for him was failed marriages, estrangement from his children, drinking, madness....and eventual wholeness through writing.
