Product DescriptionRun a Quick Search on "The Farmer's Daughter" by Jim Harrison to Browse Related Products:Browse more products related to "The Farmer's Daughter"Browse more products related to "Jim Harrison"Publisher's noteJim Harrison's fifteen works of fiction have established him as one of the most beloved and popular authors in American fiction. His last novel, The English Major, was a National Indie Bestseller, a New York Times Book Review notable, and a San Francisco Chronicle Best Book of the Year. Harrison's latest collection of novellas, The Farmer's Daughter, finds him writing at the height of his powers, and in fresh and audacious new directions. The three stories in The Farmer's Daughter are as different as they are unforgettable. Written in the voice of a home-schooled fifteen-year-old girl in rural Montana, the title novella is an uncompromising, beautiful tale of an extraordinary character whose youth intersects with unexpected brutality, and the reserves she must draw on to make herself whole. In another, Harrison's beloved recurring character Brown Dog, still looking for love, escapes from Canada back to the States on the tour bus of an Indian rock band called Thunderskins. And finally, a retired werewolf, misdiagnosed with a rare blood disorder brought on by the bite of a Mexican hummingbird, attempts to lead a normal life but is nevertheless plagued by hazy, feverish episodes of epic lust, physical appetite, athletic exertions, and outbursts of violence under the full moon. The Farmer's Daughter is a memorable portrait of three decidedly unconventional American lives. With wit, poignancy, and an unbounded love for his characters, Jim Harrison has again reminded us why he is one of the most cherished and important authors at work today. AnnotationThe profound and prolific Jim Harrison presents a trio of novellas which are linked by a song, Patsy Cline's "The Last Word in Lonesome Is Me," which also nicely states his theme. In the title story, a young girl seeking thrills amidst the social desolation of Montana has her spirit broken by a sexual assault. The second story features the return of Brown Dog, a recurrent Harrison character, who struggles to find the best care for his stepdaughter, who suffers from fetal alcohol syndrome, even as he continues to engage in the reckless behavior which partially caused her condition. Harrison finishes with his unique take on the legend of the werewolf, as a child named Samuel begins to experience strange lunar-related fits after being bitten by a wolf cub.
