<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>The New York Times bestselling author of thirty-nine books of fiction, non-fiction, and poetry--including <i>Legends of the Fall</i>, <i>Dalva</i>, and <i>Returning to Earth</i>--Jim Harrison was one of our most beloved and acclaimed writers, adored by both readers and critics. <i>Sundog</i> is a powerful novel about the life and loves of a foreman named Robert Corvus Strang, who worked on giant dam projects around the world until he was crippled in a fall down a three-hundred-foot dam. Now as he tries to regain use of his legs, he has a chance to reassess his life, and a blasé journalist who has heard of Strang's reputation in the field arrives to draw him out about his various incarnations. Strang--who has the violently heightened sensibilities of a man who has gone to the limits and back--recounts his monumental life moving from Michigan to Africa and the Amazon, including his several marriages and children, and dozens of lovers. "A feisty, passionate novel" (<i>Newsday</i>) from a writer whose "storytelling instincts are nearly flawless" (<i>The New York Times</i>), <i>Sundog</i> is a story as true and gripping as real life, and ultimately as victorious.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><br>"Harrison's storytelling instincts are nearly flawless."--<i>The New York Times</i> <p/>"Set in the heart of America, his stories move with random power and reach, in the manner of Melville and Faulkner."--<i>The Boston Globe</i> <p/>"Harrison is brilliant at portraying this wild country . . .
