"It is an enchanted tale.... I have read the story three times now, and each time it seems fuller." - Roger Sale, New York Review of Books "Altogether beautiful in the power of its feeling.... As beautiful as anything in Thoreau or Hemingway." - Alfred Kazin, Chicago Tribune Book World "In 1990 Norman Maclean died in body, but for hundreds of thousands of readers he will live as long as fish swim and books are made." - Annie Proulx "His description of the conflagration terrifies, but it is his battle with words, his effort to turn the story of the 13 men into tragedy that makes this book a classic." - New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice, Best Books of 1992 "Maclean is always with the brave young dead.... They could not have found a storyteller with a better claim to represent their honor.... A great book." - James R. Kincaid, New York Times Book Review"
