Lost Mountain

Lost Mountain

No wonder some Eastern Kentuckians were skeptical about Neil Armstrong’s 1969 walk on the moon. They thought NASA had put Mr. Armstrong in a space suit and photographed him at a strip mine.

These are the closing words of Janet Maslin’s review of Lost Mountain (Riverhead, 2006) in the NYTimes. Clara Bingham’s review in the Courier-Journal is here.

I cribbed these links from The Kentucky Literary Newsletter, which also tells me that Reece has been awarded Columbia University’s John B. Oakes Award for Distinguished Environmental Journalism. He will be signing at Joseph-Beth Booksellers in Lexingon on Monday (Feb 27).

The Kentucky Literary Newsletter is sponsored by Wind Publications, which has its own book about mountaintop removal: Missing Mountains.
