Product info

<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>In this "hilarious, richly imagined bear's eye view of love, music, alienation, manhood and humanity" ("Publishers Weekly"), "Zabor's knack for detail makes the absurd premise (a walking, talking, Blake- and Shakespeare-quoting bear) believable" ("The New Yorker").<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>The hero of this sensational debut novel is an alto-sax virtuoso trying to evolve a personal style out of Coltrane and Rollins. He also happens to be a walking, talking, Blake- and Shakespeare-quoting bear whose musical, spiritual, and romantic adventures add up to perhaps the best novel, ursine or human, ever written about jazz.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Hip, flip, sexy, and worldy-wise, with walk-ons by Charlie Haden and other jazz celebrities: a first novel that has the makings of a cult smash.-- "Kirkus Reviews"<br><br>In fluent, witty prose Zabor conveys with remarkable vividness the texture of group improvisation...It swings.--A. O. Scott "New York Newsday"<br><br>Poignant and touching moments combine with hilarious descriptions of the bear's struggle in a story that anyone--whether familiar with jazz or not--will find compelling and entertaining.--David Amram "Los Angeles Times"<br><br>Zabor...conveys the mingled joy and terror of musical improvisation. He also displays a mean wit.-- "New York Times Book Review"<br><br>Zabor's knack for detail makes the absurd premise believable...and neatly turns the weighty subject--the painful and ungainly growth of an artist--into a comic gem.-- "The New Yorker"<br>
