Fun post. Basso’s book opened for me a new way of thinking about relation to place and our stories in those places.

Fiction - Mink River by the late great Brian Doyle. Western Oregon fishing/logging town.

Grateful for your suggestion of Stegner, I'd recommend "How to Catch a Mole: Wisdom From a Life Lived in Nature" by Marc Hamer.

I adored Aldo Leopold’s A Sand County Almanac, one of the first place-based books I read. Thanks for your suggestion of Keith Basso.
