The New York Times bestselling author of thirty-nine books of fiction, non-fiction, and poetryยincluding Legends of the Fall, Dalva, and Returning to EarthยJim Harrison was one of our most beloved and acclaimed writers, adored by both readers and critics. Sundog is a powerful novel about the life and loves of a foreman named Robert Corvus Strang, who worked on giant dam projects around the world until he was crippled in a fall down a three-hundred-foot dam. Now as he tries to regain use of his legs, he has a chance to reassess his life, and a blasรฉ journalist who has heard of Strangโs reputation in the field arrives to draw him out about his various incarnations. Strangยwho has the violently heightened sensibilities of a man who has gone to the limits and backยrecounts his monumental life moving from Michigan to Africa and the Amazon, including his several marriages and children, and dozens of lovers. ยA feisty, passionate novelโ (Newsday) from a writer whose ยstorytelling instincts are nearly flawlessโ (The New York Times), Sundog is a story as true and gripping as real life, and ultimately as victorious.
