Just as Norman Maclean writes at the end of "A River Runs through It" that he is "haunted by waters," so have readers been haunted by his novella. A retired English professor who began writing fiction at the age of seventy, Maclean produced what is now recognized as one of the classic American stories of the twentieth century. Originally published in 1976, A River Runs through It and Other Stories now celebrates its twenty-fifth anniversary, marked by this new edition that includes a fore- word by Annie Proulx.
By turns raunchy, poignant, caustic, and elegiac, these are superb tales which express, in Maclean's own words, "a little of the love I have for the earth as it goes by." Proulx reminds us in her foreword of the power of this book when she writes, "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."
NORMAN MACLEAN (1902-1990) was the William Rainey Harper Professor of English at the University of Chicago. He is also the author of Young Men and Fire, the story of Montana's Mann
Gulch forest fire of 1949.
