Q: When is a book not
just a book?
A: When it's a folio of hand-pulled original lithographs.
"...Saunders'
work is pure familiarity, romance, and pathos. He describes a simpler
time and place with the skill of a truly great storyteller. He...weaves
an extensive system of symbols, archetypes, and illusions. By means
of this network the simple is made complex and the complex made
clear-images
are manipulated, combined and layered to reveal the reality of a place,
inhabited and enriched by memory."
--Richard Fisher - in "A Sense of Place"
"...A
considerable portion of Saunders work also addresses the land and
a
sense of place. It is done with a combination of objectivity and myth
which is a Southern viewpoint and maybe a birthright."
--Thomas Dewey III- in "Comparisons and Contrasts, 1981-1982"


"You
folks can buy critters if you want to. But me, I'd just
as soon buy a tiger or a rattlesnake."
|
"The
other did not move, sitting on the top step, not quite facing
them, sitting there beneath the successive layers of their
quiet and intent concentrated listening and waiting."
|
"Them
ponies is gentle as a dove, boys. The man that buys them will
get the best piece of horseflesh he ever forked or druv for the
money." |
"...there
were more than fifty men now standing along beside the gate,
watching him quietly, a little covertly, as he approached."
|

"'I
bought a horse and I paid cash for it,' he said. His voice
was harsh and spent too, the mad look in his eyes had a quality
glazed
now and even sightliess." |
" It
galloped to the end of the veranda and took the railing and
soared outward, hobgoblin and floating, in the moon."
|
they
came to witness the trial
|
"...with
an expression of grim and seething outrage [which was not directed
at] any other man in particular but at all men, all males, and
which Tull himself was not at all the victim, but the subject,
who sat on one side of her husband while the biggest of the four
daughters sat on the other as if they were not so much convinced
that Tull might leap up and flee..." |
"Your
damages are fixed by statute...now that horse that made your
team run away and snatch your husband out of the wagon, belongs
to you and Mr. Tull."
