As a staff writer for the New Yorker for twenty-one years, Frazier has written on hunting, fishing, Native American culture, and a host of other topics. He was a frequent contributor to the magazine's "Talk of the Town" section. In 1982, he left Manhattan for Montana , where he began the research for Great Plains (1989), a journey of more than 25,000 miles through the American West. Frazier returned to the West for On the Rez (2000), an account of friendships made during his travels. Family (1994) is the story of Frazier's own lineage, as well as a chronicle of 19th- and 20th-century American history, located in Hudson . Frazier's humor essays have been published in Dating Your Mom (1986) and Coyote v. Acme (1996). His most recent book, Gone to New York: Adventures in the City (2005) is a collection of essays about his relationship with the city itself.
