The Summer He Didn’t Die, is a collection of novellas showcasing the flair that has made him a contemporary master of the form, and a celebration of love, the senses, and family, no matter how untraditional.
The Summer He Didn’t Die exults with life and all its magic. In the title novella, Brown Dog, a hapless Michigan Indian loved by Harrison’s readers, is trying to parent his two step-children and take care of his family’s health on meager resources – it helps a bit that his charms are irresistible to the new dentist in town. Republican Wives is a witty satire on the sexual neuroses of the Right, the mystery of why any person desires another, and the irrational power of love that, when thwarted, can turn so easily into an urge to murder. Tracking is a meditation on Harrison’s fascination with place, telling his own familiar mythology through the places he has seen and the intellectual loves he has known in a vivid stream of consciousness that transfigures how we look at our own surroundings.
Ships promptly in corrugated mailer with book wrapped in both craft paper and multiple layers of bubble wrap.
