“Ambitious and often captivatingly beautiful . . . an extended meditation on the prickly, necessary interrelationship of man and the natural world.” —Kirkus Reviews

The first full-length novel by one of our finest fiction writers, Where the Sea Used to Be tells the story of a struggle between a father and his daughter for the souls of two men, Matthew and Wallis—his protégés, her lovers. Old Dudley is a Texan whose religion is oil, and in his fifty years of searching for it in Swan Valley he has destroyed a dozen geologists. Matthew is Dudley’s most recent victim, but Wallis begins to uncover the dark mystery of Dudley’s life. Each character, the wildlife, and the land itself are rendered with the vivid poetry that is that hallmark of Rick Bass’s writing.

“Sometimes, reading this book, I wished I could step into its pages and physically inhabit the world Rick Bass creates. At its best, Where the Sea Used to Be is that powerful, that seductive.” —The Washington Post

“In the beauty of his language and the grandeur of his story’s scope, Bass has created both powerful fiction and a parable for the situation in which the human race finds itself . . . Read it to discover anew the power good fiction can have.” —SFGate

“One of the country’s premier sources of poetic, nature-oriented short fiction . . . The particular pleasure of reading a Rick Bass novel is the total immersion you feel in the hypnotic lyricism of his prose . . . a novel of inestimable beauty.” —The Austin Chronicle
