5.0�toiles sur 5 Jim Harrison is a national treasure worth reading, Mars 31 2002

Par	Michail Kyril (Redmond, WA USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Sundog Limited Edition (Hardcover)

This powerful novel by the author of LEGENDS OF THE FALL and Farmer concerns the life and loves of a foreman named Robert Corvus Strang. Strang worked on giant dam projects in the U.S., South America, and Africa, 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 bored journalist who has heard of Strang's reputation in the field arrives to draw him out about his various incarnations. Strang recounts his life, including his childhood in the Midwest, his several marriages and children, dozens of lovers, and his work on projects around the world. Strang has the violently heightened sensibilities of a man who has gone to the limits and back, a man who is passionately and unequivocally committed to life. Harrison captures the foreman's tale with head-on frankness and clarity that needs no elabornation, no embellishment. This is a story as true and gripping as real life, and ultimately as victorious.

About the Author -- Jim Harrison has been awarded the National Endowment for the Arts (1968-69) and the Guggenheim Fellowship (1969-70). He is the author of WOLF: A FALSE MEMOIR, A GOOD DAY TO DIE, FARMER, LEGENDS OF THE FALL, WARLOCK, and SELECTED AND NEW POEMS. The author has lived in Michigan.

This review is from: Sundog (Paperback)

I am from Brasil and I live in da UP! I drank from the Tocantins and took many a swim in Superior. This book rocks my world!

The best there is! ...and if you read it and like it, you should try the short story "Brown Dog." ...or maybe it's "Browndog." Either way, it's from "The Woman Lit by Fireflies."

Jim Harrison rules!

5.0�toiles sur 5 This gal loved this "boy" book!, Mars 21 2001

Par	N. Taylor (Brevard, NC USA) - Voir tous mes commentaires (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Sundog (Paperback)

My hiking, camping, backpacking, Nature-loving, outdoorsman hubby bought this book for me - and I began it reluctantly. Boy, was this gal surprized and pleased. A beautifully written narrative with fascinating characters, settings, dialogue, and points of view. I loved it! And now plan on reading more of Harrison. SUNDOG would make a great film! And I would love to write the script.

5.0�toiles sur 5 One of the Best Books Written in the Last Quarter Century
In Corvus Strang, Harrison has created a character as significant in American Literature as any of those created by Melville, Twain, or Kerouac. This novel is truly a classic.

5.0�toiles sur 5 A solid. It lands in the gut.
SunDog is a spirited journey through a man's life. Harrison's hero, Strang, is a visceral hero of red blooded American stock. Read more
