Archaeology and history, love and loneliness, identity and preservation all wind through the collection, blurring the lines between the natural world and the world we create.\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe stories in \u003cem\u003eRecapture\u003c\/em\u003e take us to an American West that is both strange and familiar. The Grand Canyon can only be visited in replica form. An archivist preserves a rare map of a vanished Lake Tahoe. A Utah cliff dwelling survives as an aging roadside attraction in California. By turns lyrical, deadpan, and surreal, Erica Olsen's stories bring us the natural world and the world we make, the artifacts we keep and the memories and desires that shape our lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eERICA OLSEN\u003c\/b\u003e lives in the Four Corners area, where she does archives and curation work for archaeology museums.
