About This Item
Atlantic Monthly Press, 2002. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Fine/Fine. Association copy, inscribed to novelist Jim Harrison, author of *Legends of the Fall*, on the title page: "Jim, I call this 'The true history of our great-grandmother.' Jeffrey." Jim Harrison's blurb is on the back of the dust jacket: "My real problem with Jeffrey Lent's Lost Nation is figuring out whether it is a masterpiece or simply an American classic. This is an age of obtuse hyberbole but I don't recall a recent novel more worthy of the traditional nine bows, a novel that more ruthlessly examines the nearly ancient roots of what we are today." Colum McCann provides the other blurb. This is Lent's second novel, a story set in New Hampshire; his first novel, *In the Fall* was a national bestseller and a New York Times Book Review Notable Book for 2000. A fine book in a fine jacket. From the library of Jim Harrison in Livingston, Montana. // Wood (+) River (=) Books specializes in ecology, natural history, nature writing, the environment, and environmental literature, with a special passion for association copies and notable inscriptions.

About Rural Hours
Rural Hours (formerly Wood + River = Books, est. 2019) specializes in ecology, natural history, nature writing, the environment, environmental literature, and contemporary essay, with a special passion for association copies and notable inscriptions. We draw our name from the popular-but-then-forgotten book by Susan Fenimore Cooper (published in 1850), generally considered the first work of environmental creative nonfiction by a woman in the U.S. We are interested in challenging and expanding the canon of environmental literature and finding books that tell remarkable stories and illuminate the tradition of writing about place and natural history.
