Drinking Dry Clouds is Gretel Ehrlich's storytelling in full swing. This inspired collection opens during World War II with the stories of cowboys, waitresses, and bartenders along with Japanese Americans interned at Wyoming's Heart Mountain. Many of these characters were introduced in Ehrlich's novel Heart Mountain. As she explains, "When I returned to my characters, five years after their initial appearance in my life, they seemed to want to report to me, so I let them speak in the first person."

Gretel Ehrlich divides her time between California and Wyoming. She is the winner of a National Endowment for the Arts award, the American Academy of Arts and Letters for Distinguished Prose award, and a Guggenheim Fellowship. Her books include This Cold Heaven: Seven Seasons in Greenland, The Future of Ice: A Journey into Cold, and The Solace of Open Spaces.
Industry Reviews
"Gretel Ehrlich has a strong, unique voice that grasps you and leads you along like a firm hand." Edward Hoagland "In Drinking Dry Clouds, Gretel Ehrlich manages a control over her interconnected 'Stories from Wyoming' that is similar to that achieved in a fine novel; these stories collectively equal a novel's scope and depth." Magill Book Reviews "These spare, 'palm-in-the-hand' stories are eloquent character sketches linked by geography and time... Each portrait, narrated in the first person, is both delicate, sturdy, and skillful." Library Journal
