Part two of This Writing Life's transatlantic conversation with Rick Bass, novelist, activist, award-winning short story writer, begins with a question referencing Philip Larkin, Romanticism and Transcendentalism and continues with an answer discussing fiction, geology, humans and time: 'We are new to this world. We don't know how to be in this old world.' ----more----From here we moved towards some if not all the following:

Bass, religion and nature 'fostered alike by beauty and by fear': nature as teacher? autobiography, family and discovering nature nature as idea or reality? Annie Gillard, Peter Matheson, Edward Abbey: Bass and nature writing 'I like people. I just don't like being around them': Bass as misanthropist? bookshops, Russians, Flannery O'Connor, Jim Harrison: how did Bass start writing?
