Reviews
These pieces convey a deep and rewarding connection with place. Reaching across the history of Texas, both natural and cultural, he creates a paradoxical effect--collapsing the sweeping distances of a vast and varied state while giving its immense particularly its due... Best of all, he has an uncanny knack for ending his essays in exactly the right place, more often than not carrying what would otherwise have been pleasant and serviceable to a stirring and unusually satisfying conclusion., Harrigan has written beautifully about the various natural wonders of the state...Through it all, Harrigan writes with ease, with a straightforward, friendly thoughtfulness that lures you in and makes you wonder how someone can be so nice, so modest, so self-deprecating at times, when it's obvious that writing as concisely and clearly as he does is quite difficult., These essays speak with the same acuity and matchless prose that won Harrigan national acclaim in his best-selling novels The Gates of the Alamo (2000) and Remember Ben Clayton (2011); readers of Harrigan's fiction are sure to find this definitive collection of his nonfiction no less arresting.

Synopsis
History--natural history, human history, and personal history--and place are the cornerstones of The Eye of the Mammoth . Stephen Harrigan's career has taken him from the Alaska Highway to the Chihuahuan Desert, from the casinos of Monaco to his ancestors' village in the Czech Republic. And now, in this new edition, he movingly recounts in "Off Course" a quest to learn all he can about his father, who died in a plane crash six months before he was born. Harrigan's deceptively straightforward voice belies an intense curiosity about things that, by his own admission, may be "unknowable." Certainly, we are limited in what we can know about the inner life of George Washington, the last days of Davy Crockett, the motives of a caged tiger, or a father we never met, but Harrigan's gift--a gift that has also made him an award-winning novelist--is to bring readers closer to such things, to make them less remote, just as a cave painting in the title essay eerily transmits the living stare of a long-extinct mammoth., By the author of the critically acclaimed and best-selling novels The Gates of the Alamo and Remember Ben Clayton, here is the definitive, career-spanning collection of nonfiction from one of America?s leading writers, Stephen Harrigan.
