Description: THE ANCIENT MINSTREL Novellas Jim HarrisonGrove Press, New York, NY, 2016, First Edition, SIGNEDHardcover, very good condition, dust jacket is very good, jacket is now protected in clear archival sleeveNew York Times bestselling author Jim Harrison is one of our most beloved and acclaimed writers, adored by both readers and critics. In his stunning new collection, The Ancient Minstrel, Harrison delivers three novellas that highlight his phenomenal range as a writer, shot through with his trademark wit and keen insight into the human condition.Harrison has tremendous fun with his own reputation in The Ancient Minstrel, about an aging wrier in Montana who's at the stage of his career when his work is increasingly discussed in terms of his legacy. He indulges his lifelong dream of raising pigs, struggles to write the "big novel" he's rashly promised his editor and attempts to rekindle the long marriage that has sustained him. In Eggs, a Montana woman recalls a life spent collecting eggs - at her grandparents' farm in Montana and in Cornwall, England, where she ends up during World War II. Eggs of a different sort preoccupy her when, unmarried but undeterred, she decides to try to have a baby. And in The Case of the Howling Buddhas, retired Detective Sunderson - a recurring character from Harrison's New York Times bestseller The Great Leader and The Big Seven - is hired as a private investigator to look into a bizarre cult that achieves satori by howling along with howler monkeys at the zoo.Fresh and entertaining, with moments of both profound wisdom and sublime humor, The Ancient Minstrel is an exceptional reminder of why Harrison is one of the most cherished and important writers at work today.SIGNED on ffep:This first edition of The Ancient Minstrel has been graciously signed for you by the author.
