Brown Dog: Novellas.
New York: Grove Press, 2013. First Printing of the First US Edition. A Fine tight copy in a Fine dust jacket. Brown Dog is a bawdy, reckless, down-on-his-luck Michigan Indian, a former pulp cutter who looks on work as something to do when he needs money, far inferior to the pleasures of fishing. Overindulging in food, drink, and women while just scraping by, B.D. meets a nubile archaeologist who presses him for the location of a sacred Native American burial ground; the ensuing flirtation with radicalization results in B.D. wandering Los Angeles in search of a stolen bearskin. Witty and poignantly human, Brown Dog underscores Harrison’s place as one of America’s most irrepressible writers. Item #28738
