Where the Deer and the Antelope Play

By Rick Donahoe

Echoes of Edward Abbey and Jim Harrison ring loud in this spicy, fast-paced winner of the 9th Annual Jack Kerouac Literary Competition.

Set in the serene beauty of the inter-mountain Northwest, Where the Deer and the Antelope Play tells the story of a middle-aged establishment-type from the East who, given one year to live, heads to the western wilderness to die on his own terms. Instead, he falls in with an old rancher and falls in love to find himself one hundred feet up in a towering old-growth Douglas fir.

"This pithy meditation upon the beauty of our rapidly vanishing natural world transforms itself from a gorgeous love story into a pulse pounding thriller." -Vick Mickunas, The Dayton Daily News
