Beschreibung
A collection of novellas from the New York Timesbestselling author';arguably America's foremost master of the novella... A force of nature on the page' (The Washington Post). The Mark Twain Awardwinning author of Legends of the Fall delivers three novellas that highlight his phenomenal range as a writer, shot through with his trademark wit and keen insight into the human condition. Harrison has fun with his own reputation in the title novella, about an aging writer in Montana who weathers the slings and arrows of literary success and tries to cope with the sow he buys on a whim and the unplanned litter of piglets that follows soon after. In Eggs, a Montana woman reminisces about collecting eggs at her grandparents' country house. Years later, having never had a child, she attempts to do so. And in The Case of the Howling Buddhas, retired Detective Sundersona recurring character from Harrison's New York Times bestseller The Great Leader and The Big Sevenis hired to investigate a bizarre cult that achieves satori by howling along with howler monkeys at the zoo. ';Still independent, fierce and feral,' The Ancient Minstrel confirms Jim Harrison as one of the most cherished and important writers in modern America (David Gates, The New York Times).
