Inhaltsangabe

The Sunday Times of London has called Jim Harrison "a writer with immortality in him" and The Boston Globe has written that "his stories move with random power and reach, in the manner of Melville and Faulkner." In The Beast God Forgot to Invent, this American master gives us three novellas that sparkle with the generous humanity of his vision. These are stories of humans and beasts, of culture and wildness, of men driven crazy by longing and of men who dream they are becoming bears. A man near the end of his life becomes part of an odd band of caretakers for a younger man whose brain has been damaged in a car accident, the civilization shaken out of him. A Michigan Indian wanders the wilds of Los Angeles, ogling girls, sleeping in the botanic garden, and working as driver to a drunk screenwriter as he tracks an ersatz Native activist who's run off with his bearskin. An aging "alpha canine," author of three dozen Bioprobes -- hundred-page disposable biographies -- takes dinner with a woman to whom he was married for nine days in his overheated youth and is reminded that he's forgotten to go to Spain. Infused with Jim Harrison's sly humor and quiet wisdom, this book is a resonant journey through the landscape of masculinity from a writer in his prime.
