These eleven stories by the authors of The Forty Fathom Bank
and The Negligence of Death, respectively, present the reader
with a combination of thoughtfulness and vitality that is rare in Modern American Fiction.
The "great spaces" of the title allude both to the limitless depth and vistas of
the natural world and to the crack that widens between the world as we conceive of it and
the world as we live it.
Each story is accompanied by a full page halftone illustration by Robin Adsit. We at Black
Heron are very pleased with Ms. Adsit's artwork and believe it gives another dimension to
the literary craftsmanship of Les Galloway and Jerome Gold.
| What the Critics are Saying |
"These two distinct voices vividly portray confrontations between men and nature, at times raw and tragic. The will to survive is tested as characters struggle at the hands of 'man's cruel strength.' Even nature becomes a conspirator."
-- Marilyn
Stablein, author of The Census Taker
