RaveCaught by the RiverFirst off, Carter has a strikingly visceral, gutsy and imaginative way of writing about the natural world and the animal’s 360 degree perception of it ... His use of language is virtuosic and playful ... The pages come to life; you could almost imagine a worm crawling out from between them. Carter’s world has a fullness to it, from the macro to the micro ... I felt transported to the natural world he describes, with all its infinite variety, its sounds, and smells. And he doesn’t shy away from the violence of the non-human world ... This lost classic is, quite simply, remarkable, and I’m so pleased...to bring it back into print for a new generation.
