In the Land of the Grasshopper Song: Two Women in the Klamath River Indian Country in 1908–09 by Mary Ellicott Arnold and Mabel Reed, with an introduction by Susan Bernardin (review)

It is interesting that some of the best American novels about old age have come from western writers. Stegner’s Crossing to Safety (1987) comes to mind; and Hemingway caught magic in The Old Man and the Sea (1952). To be accurate, Liberty Lanes seems to be a book barely about the West. Other than a few daytrips into the Montana landscape, most of its events could probably have been set almost anywhere—and that’s a measure of the book’s universality. Troy’s novel is most significant because it is a story about older people contemplating their future while negotiating their present. Youth, while beautiful and energetic, represents the past and, in the case of the characters of Liberty Lanes, need not always apply.
