BENJAMIN PERCY

10/12/2010 6:00 pm

Presently living and teaching in Iowa, debut novelist Benjamin Percy hails from high desert country in central Oregon. That landscape plays a central role in his just-released novel, The Wilding (Graywolf Press). "Not your father's eco-novel. In compelling, image-driven prose, Benjamin Percy confounds the old polarities about wilderness and development by sending three generations of men into a doomed canyon, and letting so much hell break loose we can't tell the heroes from the villains—which feels exactly right. This is a dark, sly, slip-under-your-skin-and-stay-there kind of a book." - Pam Houston. Benjamin Percy is also the author of a book of stories, Refresh, Refresh, and the recipient of a Whiting Writers' Award and the Plimpton Prize.
