I recently read Nature Noir: A Park Ranger’s Patrol in the Sierra. It’s a work memoir by Jordan Fisher Smith, about his time working at a park in California–dust, boredom, flood control issues, suicides, doughnuts, campers, cougars, and so on. I recommend it highly.

So I was charmed to find this video of the author reading from the book–literally reading from it–on his deck. It’s summer reading at its simple best.–David E
