Girl on a Float

Girl on a Float is a collection of stories with a shared setting and recurring conflicts, most of which involve civilization and nature in some kind of revealing interaction. Brian Bedard reveals the northern plains experience as it takes shape in a variety of dramatic situations. That experience invariably involves the challenges of living in a wild space, which tests people’s physical strength and their practical wits within a raw and unpredictable climate. In this environment, you simply cannot ignore the natural world as a reminder and a teacher. The wind, for example, won’t let you.

The Garrison Diversion Project has been a controversial political issue in North Dakota for decades.

The landscape has been transformed by pumping stations and other large-scale waterworks, along with more than one hundred twenty miles of canals.
