Walking Out

About this book

This story in the anthology American Short Story Masterpieces, edited by Raymond Carver and Tom Jenks. “Walking Out” has received quite a bit of acclaim. It is, after all, a masterpiece, and in Raymond Carver’s eyes. Quammen rarely writes fiction anymore, instead concentrating on (excellent) non-fiction work and so his name doesn’t continue to be passed around fiction circles. Perhaps it’s because “Walking Out” is a story about hunting in Montana between Father and Son and an accident that leaves no choice but to Walk Out.
