Hole in the Sky: A Memoir Paperback - 1993
by William Kittredge
In a beautifully written--at times heartbreaking--memoir, Kittredge tells stories of his grandfather and father and recounts his own struggle as he progressed from farmer to writer. An honest reckoning of an American myth, rendered with enormous eloquence and visionary sweep.
First line
Maybe children wake to a love affair every other morning or so; if given any chance, they seem to like the sight and smell and fell of things so much.
From the jacket flap
William Kittredge's stunning memoir is at once autobiography, a family chronicle, and a Westerner's settling of accounts with the land he grew up in. This is the story of a grandfather whose single-minded hunger for property won him a ranch the size of Delaware but estranged him from his family; of a father who farmed with tractors and drainage ditches but consorted with movie stars; and of Kittredge himself, who was raised by cowboys and saw them become obsolete, who floundered through three marriages, hard drinking, and madness before becoming a writer. Host hauntingly, Hole in the Sky is an honest reckoning of the American myth that drove generations of Americans westward -- and what became of their dream after they reached the edge.
