West of Last Chance by Peter T. BrownA one word review, at least of the pictures in this book, is "stark". If you kick it up to three words, "stark, but beautiful". I found Haruf's writing as enjoyable in these shorter paragraphs as his novels. The pages start with barren landscape, and almost as barren writing, but you start to see and read more detail as you go through. I enjoyed the church story near the end the best, and it's also the most fully drawn and longest.
