The Sunday Times of London has described Jim Harrison as a writer with immortality in him, while The Washington Times considers him a national treasure. In this collection of three novellas, Harrison showcases his generous humanity and seasoned wisdom through stories that explore the connections between humans and beasts, culture and wildness, and the complexities of longing. In the first novella, a man nearing the end of his life becomes a caretaker for a younger man whose brain has been damaged in a motorcycle accident, prompting reflections on mortality and civility. The second story follows Brown Dog, a Michigan Indian, as he wanders Los Angeles in search of a vanished activist friend, navigating the contrasts between his current life and his roots. Finally, an aging "alpha canine," author of numerous disposable biographies, reunites with a woman he married briefly, leading him to confront his past dreams of becoming a poet in Spain and question the ownership of his life. Infused with sly humor and quiet wisdom, these narratives reflect the expansive grace of the American landscape, both urban and rural, and offer a resonant journey through the geography of masculinity from a masterful writer.
