Sundog by Jim Harrison (English) Paperback Book

Description: Sundog by Jim Harrison The New York Times bestselling author of thirty-nine books of fiction, non-fiction, and poetry-including Legends of the Fall, Dalva, and Returning to Earth-Jim Harrison was one of our most beloved and acclaimed writers, adored by both readers and critics. Sundog 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 blas journalist who has heard of Strangs 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" (Newsday) from a writer whose "storytelling instincts are nearly flawless" (The New York Times), Sundog is a story as true and gripping as real life, and ultimately as victorious.
