A. B. Guthrie Jr. is best known for his historical fiction; his classic novel
The Way West
earned him a Pulitzer Prize. Guthrie had the ability to create memorable yet believable characters, was skillful in his use of narration and point of view, and possessed a notable flair for describing the landscape of the American West. It is unsurprising, perhaps, that Guthrie also had a deft talent for short fiction.
The Big It and Other Stories
