In 1987, John Rember returned home to Sawtooth Valley, where

he had been brought up. He returned out of a homing instinct: the

same forty acres that had sustained his family’s horses had

sustained a vision of a place where he belonged in the world, a

life where he could get up in the morning, step out the door, and

catch dinner from the Salmon River. But to his surprise, he found

that what was once familia***as now unfamiliar. Everything might

have looked the same to the horses that spring, but to Rember this

was no longer home.

In Traplines, Rember recounts his experiences of growing up

in a time when the fish were wild in the rivers, horses were

brought into the valley each spring from thei***inter pasture, and

electric light still seemed magical. Today those same experiences

no longer seem to possess the authenticity they once did. In his

journey home, Rember discovers how the West, both as a place in

which to live and as a terrain of the imagination, has been

transformed. And he wonders whether his recollecti*** of what once

was prevent him from understanding his past and appreciating what

he found when he returned home. In Traplines, Rember excavates the

hidden desires that color memory and shows us how, once revealed,

they can allow us to understand anew the stories we tell

ourselves.

After nearly 30 years away, Rember, a Harvard-educated English

professor at Idaho's Albertson College and holder of various odd

jobs, returns to his backwoods roots in Stanley, Idaho. The

hardscrabble wilderness of his youth has seen major changes: pushed

to the brink of environmental disaster from nuclea***aste runoff

and overbuilding, it has been reclaimed by well-meaning

preservationists and returned to something that resembles home,

only "what once was familia***as unfamiliar. What once was real was

no longer real." Native fish have long disappeared, replaced by

farmed fish; wild game replaced by protected "wildlife." Yet,

sunsets are still magical and the old fences and ruined cabins

still have stories to tell. As Rember relives his youth, his focus

moves away from the ways his surroundings have changed to the ways

he has changed. As he revisits his home grounds-looking at the

antlers his trapper/fishing guide father collected; finding an old

p***o of his grandma, who lived "on the ragged far edge of

c***ensus reality"; remembering the elks he s*** and gutted-he

relives the turning points, the revelati***, the small epiphanies

"fo***hich all subsequent living is merely repetition and

elaboration." He used to think life was about "free will," but now,

feeling the tug of his own history, he can settle for "free fall."

Rembe***rites sentences so elegantly crafted they seem effortless,

tells stories so well turned readers will want to read them aloud.

Beneath the writing, it's Rember's voyage to self-c***ciousness

that gives his story power and meaning.
