Rick Bass has devoted four books to the Yaak Valley (Montana) where he has lived for twenty years. The Yaak Books all serve the same purpose: to increase readers’ sensitivity to environmental destruction in the Yaak and in the remaining roadless areas of America. These precious places need to be saved, the texts all proclaim. Various strategies are used to raise the readers’ awareness and urge them to react. Bass’s ecoprose celebrates, fulminates, exhorts, mourns… Advocacy is at times concealed behind the seductive veils of fiction or creative nonfiction, or surfaces in more direct forms of address. This study contends that Bass’s textuality has much in common with the nature, function, and art of letter writing. The Yaak Books borrow from the epistolary genre and resort to some of its rhetorical strategies: they are epistles of a kind. |
