The dusty town of Moon Dance, smacked down between barren mountains and a badland named, the Freezeout, would also be a back-drop for "The Big It and Other Stories" (1960), In Guthrie's hand, raw vitality replaces the woodenness of much writing in the genre, and unexpected grace notes in the verbal rhythms suggest the author of "The Big Sky" (1947) and the Pulitzer Prize-winning "The Way West" (1949). Introducing "Murders at Moon Dance" is the celebrated Montana writer William Kittredge, the author of such books as "We Are Not in This Together" (1984), "Owning It All" (1990), and "Hole in the Sly" (1992).
