Description

About the Book

From the award-winning author of "A Flag for Sunrise" and "Children of Light" comes a collection of stories spanning nearly 30 years--from 1969 to the present--that explore the humanity that unites people.

Book Synopsis

The stories collected in Bear and His Daughter span nearly thirty years - 1969 to the present - and they explore, acutely and powerfully, the humanity that unites us. In "Miserere," a widowed librarian with an unspeakable secret undertakes an unusual and grisly role in the anti-abortion crusade. "Under the Pitons" is the harrowing story of a reluctant participant in a drug-running scheme and the grim and unexpected consequences of his involvement. The title story is a riveting account of the tangled lines that weave together the relationship of a father and his grown daughter.

Review Quotes

"Masterful and wrenching." Boston Globe

"A volume of short stories that belongs alongside those of Raymond Carver . . . Brilliant, moving, often gloriously funny and triumphant." The San Francisco Chronicle

"As interesting a group of stories as can be found in contempory literature." The Miami Herald
