"The Land of Little Rain" is a collection of short stories and essays that
describe the landscape and inhabitants of the American Southwest. The book was
written by Mary Austin and published in 1903. It has been published six times,
with the first audiobook edition being released in 2019. The stories and
essays are linked by a message of environmental conservation and a philosophy
of cultural and sociopolitical regionalism. The book is characterized as both
"local color" and non-fiction, scientific writing. The language is elevated
and formal but made more conversational with informal colloquial language and
jargon of the Southwest. The stories feature the deleterious influences of man
on nature, including the wasting of pastures by grazing domesticated herds and
the ceaseless mining of resources, which destroy the land, though not
irreparably. Austin's work reflects a clear opposition to writers like Ernest
Thompson Seton and Charles G. D. Roberts. The Land of Little Rain was adapted
as an episode of the TV series American Playhouse in 1989.
