The title story ranges from the stark beauty of Montana to the blood-drenched battlefields of World War I France." "It is in 'The Man Who Gave Up His Name' that Mr. Harrison comes closest to combining the traditional economy of the novella with the more comprehensive narrative that works so well for him in the title story." "Violent, compelling...beyond question the work of a gifted and accomplished writer." "Set in the heart of America, his stories move with random power and reach, in the manner of Melville and Faulkner." "Harrison at the height of his powers....He does honor to the old art of storytelling." "Harrison stands high among the writers of his generation." "In the hands of Jim Harrison, these fantasies are so open we can indeed see what we are or what we dream. At the very least, such clumsy plots and vacant characters, such ill-conceived self-pity and anger, such male posturing and fearful fantasies would find expression in precise language." "In a sense these three novellas are fairy tales intended for educated middleclass males; they are also would-be literary equivalents of violent but poetic films such as those directed by Sam Peckinpah." First lineYou could not tell if you were a bird descending (and there was a bird descending, a vulture) if the naked man was dead or alive. Publisher's noteThe acclaimed author of A Good Day to Die and Warlock has written a screenplay to be directed by Edward Zwick, starring Anthony Hopkins, Brad Pitt, and Aidan Quinn, and scheduled for release October 7th from Tristar pictures. The publication of this magnificent trilogy of short novels -- Legends Of The Fall, Revenge, and The Man Who Gave Up His Name -- confirmed Jim Harrison's reputation as one of the finest American writers of his generation. These absorbing novellas explore the theme of revenge and the actions to which people resort when their lives or goals are threatened, adding up to an extraordinary vision of the twentieth-century man. AnnotationA collection of three separate novellas. "Legends of the Fall" is a family saga relating the fortunes of three brothers growing up in Montana together shortly after the turn of the century. "Revenge" is the account of a Vietnam veteran's attempt to avenge himself on his lover's husband, who nearly killed them when he learned of their affair. In "The Man Who Gave Up His Name," a retired businessman attempts to bring a drug dealer to justice.
