Some walls only fall once you find a room safe enough to put them down in.
Augie Doyle has loved Wes Karelian for two years and has never danced with him in public.
Two summers into the life they're building in Sisters, Oregon, the two men get a phone call: Augie's oldest friend - a forty-five-year-old hunter, widowed and quietly terrified - is finally ready to come out, and he doesn't want to do it alone. So they pack the truck, load the dog, and drive to Ursa Major, a week-long queer festival in a meadow outside Oakridge.
The festival is bigger than either of them expected. Wes's youngest brother arrives and finds something he didn't know he was looking for. Wes's mother shows up with her own quiet reckoning, decades late. By the last night, a meadow full of strangers will have witnessed a version of each of them that neither knew was waiting.
Bear Country is the third and final novel in The Bear Hunt Trilogy - a queer literary romance about what closed bodies do when given permission to open.
Can be read as a standalone.
