About the Book

Celebrated author Jim Harrison, whose robust, tender, and deeply felt books have made their mark on the American literary landscape, here delivers a collection of three novellas infused with all the wisdom and generous spirit that have made him a master writer. In the title novella, "The Summer He Didn't Die," Brown Dog, a hapless Michigan Indian, is trying to parent his two stepchildren on meager resources; it helps that his charms are irresistible to the new dentist in town. "Republican Wives" is a riotous satire on the sexual neuroses of the political right and the irrational nature of love--which, when thwarted, can easily turn into an urge to murder. "Tracking" gives the author's life story as a tale of the places that have marked it. With wit as sharp as ever and prose as lush as any Harrison has yet written, The Summer He Didn't Die is a joyful ode to our journey on this earth.

Review :
"Harrison's earthy prose, uniquely evocative of place, is economical, precise, and hearty, and is sometimes startling in its ability to touch on core truths." -- "Booklist" "Touching...Showcases the ability to get inside women's heads that's always distinguished Harrison from his muy macho peers...[An] emotionally truthful self-portrait." -- "Kirkus Reviews" "Harrison's command of the novella form is as impressive as the range of his voices...this set of short fictions shifts pitch-perfect perspectives effortlessly, with a lightness that belies its depth." -- "Publishers Weekly" "Somewhere in that big literary acreage staked out by Thoreau, Hemingway, and Hunter Thompson is a chunk of space for Jim Harrison." -- "Playboy"
