Contains six novellas; Brown Dog - Seven-Ounce Man - Westward Ho - The Summer He Didn't Die - Brown Dog Redux, and He Dog. The New York Times has said this about the writings of Jim Harrison; "Among the most indelible American novelists of the last hundred years..." Harrison (1937-2016), poet, novelist, and essayist, is one of America's most beloved writers. He was a prolific and versatile writer publishing over three dozen books in several genres including poetry, fiction, nonfiction, and children's literature. Of all his creations, Brown Dog has earned cult status with readers in the more than two decades since his first appearance, scrambling to stay out of jail after his salvage-diving operation uncovers the frozen body of an Indian man in the waters of Lake Superior. Now, for the first time, this book gathers together all the Brown Dog novellas, including one that has never been published (He Dog). 525 pages. (Inventory #: 14249)
