Tumbleweed : stories / Josip Novakovich.

Summary:

In this latest short-story collection Josip Novakovich explores the shallow roots of emigration as he traverses North America from university post to writing residency.

Novakovich is in search of a natural existence, whether it be living close to the land or raising animals.
