Praise for the author’s earlier work including Letters from Chamonix, winner of the Banff Mountain Book Award:
“Stevenson accomplishes what every narrative writer should aspire to, fiction or nonfiction: making readers forget where they actually are. The written reality overpowers the outside world.” ~ Craig Childs, in Cirque
“With Letters from Chamonix, Stevenson demonstrates his ability as one of the great prose stylists of modern climbing literature. His words reflect that shift in vision that arrives at the most intense and quiet moments…” ~ Katie Ives, Alpinist
“It’s in these ethereal interstices of the stories that Stevenson explores the heady themes we all experience… isolation, solitude, joy, danger, pain, death.” ~ Cameron M. Burns in The American Alpine Journal
“There are only a handful of writers that exhibit Stevenson's mastery of tenderness with such harsh and heavy subjects. Of those writers, not one of them is as vulnerable or bleeds as much humility.” ~ Nicholas Dighiera, www.wordsworthing.com
David Stevenson's fiction collection, Letters from Chamonix, won the Banff Mountain Book Award in 2014. His collected essays, Warnings Against Myself, was published in 2016, and he was awarded the Ad Carter Literary Award by the American Alpine Club in 2017. He directs the MFA program in creative writing at the University of Alaska Anchorage. Forty Crows is his first novel.
