Table of ContentsReviewsFIRE SEASON is an urgent, clear, bright book; it is both lyrical enough to arrest breath and absolutely compelling, reminding us why we need fire, solitude, wilderness. Find room on your bookshelf next to Wallace Stegner and Norman Maclean; Philip Connors is here to stay. --Alexandra Fuller Philip Connors's remarkable account of his seasons as a fire lookout in the Gila National Forest in New Mexico is enlightening and well-informed. The surprise in the book is the author's willingness--his courage, actually--to examine his own na?vet? about the natural world. His is a most welcome new voice. --Barry Lopez Author InformationPhilip Connors has worked as a baker, a bartender, a house painter, a delivery man, and an editor at the Wall Street Journal.
