Current Projects

 

David Carpenter currently just finished working on a nonfiction book, A Hunter's Confession, about the rise and fall of hunting as a pastime in North America.

"You don't have to be a hunter or an anti-hunter to appreciate this book. You only need to love fine writing."
- Jake MacDonald, author of Grizzlyville.

"The most thoughtful and gracefully modulated yet deliciously ambivalent apologia in defense of hunting I have seen in print."
- Trevor Herriot, author of Grass, Sky, Song.

 

In addition to the non-fiction book on hunting, Carpenter is working on a collection of essays for which he is the editor entitled The Literary History of Saskatchewan.
