A \"shake-rat\" who salvages cedar stumps left when loggers clearcut, Earley seems to have little in common with Reed Alton, a gifted Berkeley dropout. But when Earley meets Zan, the fiery and mysterious woman Reed has been following, erotic sparks fly in unexpected directions. Thrown together in the splendid isolation of the woods, with passions and tensions mounting, the unlikely trio achieves a fragile balance that--like their idyllic patch of forest--will be shattered by violence. At once a page-turning psychological drama and a colorful, wildly comic recreation of a lost time and place, \u003cb\u003eClearcut\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eexplores the boundaries that divide us, and what it takes to cross them.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Knopf Publishing Group\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/09\/2005\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781400079698\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.90h x 5.20w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eReview Citations: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003c\/i\u003e 05\/01\/2005 pg. 504\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/11\/2005 pg. 63\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/01\/2005 pg. 71\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eIngram Advance\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2005 pg. 38\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eEntertainment Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/12\/2005 pg. 82\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eLibrary Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 07\/15\/2005\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Nina Shengold","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43766819127477,"sku":"9781400079698","price":15.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_db749cd7-053d-446d-b361-cc18d5fa7056.jpg?v=1710818968","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/clearcut-9781400079698","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
