Stone Boat, a short story, in Stories of the Week: 2008–2009

William Kittredge grew up on the ranch his grandfather built in southeastern Oregon, the setting for his heralded memoir, Hole in the Sky. With his essays Owning It All, Kittredge became the voice of the modern West. His epic The Willow Field (Knopf, 2006) describes a way of life that persisted long after the rest of the country had slipped into the modern age. Kittredge has been awarded a Stegner Fellowship, as well as writing fellowships from the National Endowment for the Arts. He lives in Missoula, where for many years he taught at the University of Montana.
