Apples are a thin throughline and occasional metaphor, but mostly&nbsp; provide a tart-and-sweet juiciness to a book that\u2019s about wonder, war, family, history, terror, faith, marriage, parenthood, sex, nature, betrayal, seasons, America, grief, fashion, hunger, race, class, survival, philosophy and more. Yes, more, including a panther. Like this list, the book conforms to no obvious or traditional order; chapters range from a long collection of one-sided letters between closeted gay lovers to dialog-driven scenes to poems. It is somewhat chronological, but only as it dips back into the history of the singular place it is set in \u2014 a vague and remote patch of land in what would become Maine (or Massachusetts?) where a widower escaped the griefs of society to nurture his twin daughters and his apple orchard.<\/p>\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-classic mb-5   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-image mb-5   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n<figure class=\"alignleft size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/niemanstoryboard.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/10\/9780593597033-1.jpg\" alt=\"Cover of the novel &quot;North Woods&quot; by Daniel Mason\" class=\"wp-image-11314\" style=\"width:200px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/niemanstoryboard.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/10\/9780593597033-1.jpg 300w, https:\/\/niemanstoryboard.org\/app\/uploads\/2024\/10\/9780593597033-1-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-classic mb-5   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-paragraph mb-5   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n<p>The book had been urged on me by many reader friends. I was intrigued that even as they raved, each said it was \u201cdifferent\u201d or \u201cchallenging\u201d or mentioned that it took them awhile to pick up its rhythms, but then they were hooked. They were right, although my summary would be that Mason\u2019s book is what I think of as a slow read \u2014 a book you have to engage with, chapter by chapter, page by page, graf by graf, sentence by sentence. As such, it\u2019s gutsy. It not only defies the solid underpinnings of known structures, but it defies this era of short attentions.<\/p>\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-classic mb-5   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-paragraph mb-5   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n<p>It also rewards those who yearn for that time when a book \u2014 a well-told story \u2014 became a whole world. For writers \u2014 whether of fiction, nonfiction or poetry \u2014 it offers permission to dare break some rules. For readers, it invites \u2014 even requires \u2014 full attention and, I have found, frequent re-reading of passages \u2014 at first, for me, to pick up the threads of plot and changing rhythms of language, but, soon enough, to absorb the layers of flavor in each sentence. If the book were an apple, it would be more Honeycrisp than Red Delicious.<\/p>\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-classic mb-5   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-paragraph mb-5   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n<p>Once I found that reading zone, I also found myself listening (because readers do \u201dhear\u201d writing with an inner ear) for echoes to today\u2019s issues in a book that is, on surface, as far removed from today as it could be. Perhaps the strongest echo is man\u2019s imprint on nature \u2014 or, at times, the reverse: nature\u2019s imprint on man. In either direction, that imprint can be life-giving \u2014 or an assault.<\/p>\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-classic mb-5   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n\n\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"  core-block\">\n        <div class=\"block block--core block--core-paragraph mb-5   max-w-screen-full mx-auto\">\n            \n<p>A strong echo came with the latest news about global warming.

It may even be the heart of the entire book \u2014 what we clumsily call a \u201cnut graf\u201d in traditional journalism. It comes in a long chapter of musings written by a father \u2014 the original apple orchardist \u2014 to his daughters as he prepares to head for war. He\u2019s trying to leave them a lifetime of perspective and value, passion and purpose, in case he doesn\u2019t return.
