Equinox

“An eye-opening chronicle of interspecies cooperation and a gripping dramatization of how hard-won is the ideal balance between tameness and wildness . . . beautifully wrought.”—Kirkus

“Dan O’Brien’s Equinox is an improbably beautiful book about the life of a falconer. By comparison, it makes nearly all other sporting books look childishly simple. I can’t recommend it too highly.”—Jim Harrison, author of Legends of the Fall

“It is O’Brien’s internal revelations—the intimacies and elemental components of his being—that make Equinox generous and fascinating: a beautiful book.”—Rick Bass, author of In the Loyal Mountains

“O’Brien keeps falcons pretty much at the center of things, so that his book gives what many a good book gives, a peek at a different way of living.”—Booklist

“O’Brien is one of the West’s stellar talents, and this is one of his finest books.”—Publishers Weekly

"Equinox is a lyrical tale about the revelations of life, a story we haven't heard before told in crystalline prose."—Sandy Amazeen, Monsters and Critics
