“McIntyre’s tale may have predecessors, but it is unique. I strain for literary comparisons and think: Kipling, the classical Chinese poets, early Patrick O’Brian, Hopkins. I search for a definition of its animating presence: the predator, the Buddhist sage, the hunter. All fall short. I stand before The Snow Leopard’s Tale in awe and with a little envy. It is a gem, an uncanny evocation of the cold ancient dusty highlands of Central Asia, and could only have come from Tom McIntyre. It is his best.”

“What does writing let you do that you couldn’t do otherwise?” I answered, quickly, that it let me live the life I loved and to do odd things—falconry, travel, animal keeping. And, I added, “sometimes get paid for them.”
