About the Book

In this debut short story collection from Jerry McGahan, nature in all its fascinating, perplexing, and maddening varieties intercedes with the complex yearnings, courtings, departings, and returnings of the human characters who inhabit the fringes of wilderness in contemporary Montana. Comprised of short fiction selected over a 20-year period, The Deer Walking Upside Down invites readers into a world where hard work and an abiding respect for all things wild inform the lives of this rural paradise, yet not without a price. As men and women reconcile passion and inclination, love and the wreckage of aging, there is always work to be done: fences to be repaired, hives to be tended to, livestock to be fed, and loves to be fostered. Steeped in the tradition of Jim Harrison and Tom McGuane, this collection marks the arrival of a distinct voice in the contemporary Western literary landscape.

Review :
"McGahan's reflective narrative is an elegantly written, astonishingly cohesive debut." -- Publishers Weekly on A Condor Brings the Sun "[McGahan's] narrative of several interrelated tales presents a story of proud, powerful women who keep their culture alive by remembering lifetimes past." -- Booklist on A Condor Brings the Sun "Jerry McGahan has brought off a terrific feat of synthesis and created a book as remarkable as it is rare." -- Orion on A Condor Brings the Sun "With this novel, McGahan creates a convincing story of a woman discovering self-identity and love in a world full of conflict and confusion" -- Cultural Survival Quarterly on A Condor Brings the Sun "This is a brilliant achievement, a novel that combines the often fatal sweep of Western history with the timeless circle of the Indian Andes, that merges magic, revolutionary violence, and the rich everyday lives of people trying simply to live and remember who they are." --Louis Owens, author, Bone Game on A Condor Brings the Sun "Mr. McGahan's prose is as wise as it is luminous. He has written a beautiful and compelling tale, a tale about healing, a tale we need to hear at the end of this century of destruction." --Benjamin Alire Saenz, author, Carry Me Like Water on A Condor Brings the Sun "Jerry McGahan is one hell of a writer.He spins these carefully crafted stories of ordinary characters from western Montana, until they begin to swim outward to fill the spaces beyond the fence lines of domesticity . . . a considerable achievement." Doug Peacock, author, Grizzly Years
