Hunting from Home

Reviews / Votes

Camuto is, pound for pound, word for word, the heavyweight champion of southern nature writing. -- <i>Bloomsbury Review</i> The mystery of connection lies at the heart of Hunting from Home. . . . The stealthy cadence of Camuto's prose reveals glimpses of his effort to do justice to a place and way of life that often seem just beyond his reach; hunting becomes a metaphor of how to capture the natural within the self and on the page. -- <i>New York Times Book Review</i> Camuto's book holds many attractions: his observations about his world and its delights-the trees, the flowers, the stars, the unexpected sight of deer running through the snow on a moonlit night, the presence of Carolina wrens nesting on his front porch, the smell of newly split wood-are memorable and can hold their own with the best nature writing. -- <i>Publishers Weekly</i> It is difficult to imagine anyone who walks on the land with greater circumspection and appreciation than Camuto. -- <i>Kirkus Reviews</i>
