About This Item
Boston: Houghton Mifflin, 1997. Signed by the author on the title page. First edition / First printing. Black cloth spine, rust paper-covered boards. Very fine in very fine dust jacket. A New York Times Notable Book of the Year 1997.
Synopsis
The stories collected in Bear and His Daughter span nearly thirty years - 1969 to the present - and they explore, acutely and powerfully, the humanity that unites us. In "Miserere," a widowed librarian with an unspeakable secret undertakes an unusual and grisly role in the anti-abortion crusade. "Under the Pitons" is the harrowing story of a reluctant participant in a drug-running scheme and the grim and unexpected consequences of his involvement. The title story is a riveting account of the tangled lines that weave together the relationship of a father and his grown daughter.
