Description
Nights from This Galaxy by Wil Weitzel is an adventurous debut that brings together stories of wonder and fragility. A couple's camping trip in the desert becomes a journey to save a starving lion, while a young boy's captivity by a hunter raises questions about survival and humanity. Meanwhile, lovers' kayaking trip off the Hawaiian coast turns into a treacherous encounter with a tiger shark. The characters in these stories are complex and headstrong, and Weitzel's prose is buoyant, rhythmic, and knowing. The result is a collection that captures the spirit of a wild and wonderful planet, while acknowledging our shared fragility and the grief that binds us all. Weitzel's writing is both evocative and thought-provoking, making Nights from This Galaxy a compelling read for those who appreciate stories about the natural world and the human condition.
