At the Jim Bridger - Ron Carlson

I first encountered Ron Carlson in an anthology called New Writers of the Purple Sage a few years ago, and I think he’s one of the most underrated short story writers of our time. And his book of shorts At the Jim Bridger does not disappoint. From a genius trying to fit in with his wife’s crowd to a story about the consequences of saving another man while caught in a snowstorm, these are wry and heartbreaking stories that capture the eternal in our daily actions.
