RIVER HORSE

Here is a colorful account of the author's attempt to travel by water over the width of the North American continent. It is lyrical, albeit unsentimental and, one suspects, highly fictionalized, though occasional knotty circumlocutions mar the narrative. Sanders does his best with these and lends his virile presence to the rest. Y.R. © AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: FEB/MAR 00]
