Reviews of The Next Rodeo

 
“William Kittredge’s essays immerse us in the myth and heartbreak of a vanishing West.” —Rick Bass, The Boston Globe

“Meditations on western landscapes and various environmental crises.” —Robert Birnbaum, The Morning News

“Kittredge is a first rate Western writer who knows both the “Old West” and the “New West”—and he has a rare gift of description that will please lovers of any West.” —Dennis Lythgoe, Desert Morning News

“Of the few writers with the requisite passion and talent to write sublimely about the West these days, Kittredge (along with James D. Houston, Barry Lopez, Terry Tempest Williams, and Gretel Erhlich) takes us traveling to places some of which now exist only in his prose, to that border where the Old West and New West meet.” —Alan Cheuse, NPR

“In these essays, we get Kittredge at our doorstep.” —Susan Salter Reynolds, Los Angeles Times

“Kittredge’s work, both fiction and nonfiction, is so vital to our understanding of the American West that every scrap of it needs to be collected.” —Bill Ott, Booklist
