Description: Beast God Forgot to Invent Author: Harrison, Jim Title: Beast God Forgot to Invent Publication: Atlantic Monthly Press, December 2000 Edition: First Edition Description: Cloth. Very Good / Very Good. Jim Harrison is an American master, and The Beast God Forgot to Invent is a book that The New York Times Book Review called "a big, wet, sloppy kiss [that] Harrison continues to plant on the face of life itself". These are stories of culture and wildness, of men and beasts and where they overlap. A wealthy man retired to the Michigan woods narrates the tale of a younger man decivilized by brain damage. A Michigan Indian wanders Los Angeles, hobnobbing with starlets and screenwriters while he tracks an ersatz Native-American activist who stole his bearskin. An aging "alpha canine", the author of three dozen throwaway biographies, eats dinner with the ex-wife of his overheated youth, and must confront the man he used to be. As The Plain Dealer (Cleveland) put it, "The Beast God Forgot to Invent is a proud addition to the Harrison oeuvre. It is exhilarating to watch a master at work" A new collection of novellas about wild men and civilization is offered by one of the major American writers of our time. These are stories of humans and beasts, of men driven crazy by longing, and of men who dream they are becoming bears. Infused with Harrison's sly humor and quiet wisdom, this book is a resonant journey through the landscape of masculinity from a writer in his prime. First printing. Full number line.
