A river is a rift that joins what it divides, and so, logically, mythically, it’s always a river that cuts this life off from every other. A river determines every layer of all the lives along its entire length—the industry, the agriculture, the cultural possibilities, the historical imperatives, the reigning aesthetics, and so much more that cannot be or simply never happens to be traced. This account of a river attempts to embrace them all.
