Shepard, a previous finalist for the National Book Award, presents a wildly diverse collection of 11 fictional stories. Included are reluctant soldiers, workaholic artists, female explorers, depraved murderers, deluded losers, and mountaineers! Of principal interest here are stories of Freya Stark, noted explorer and traveler, an avalanche in the Swiss Alps, and Polish winter mountaineering on Nanga Parbat.
