The New York Times bestselling author of thirty-nine books --including Legends of the Fall, Dalva, and Returning to Earth--Jim Harrison is adored by readers and critics.
Sundog is a powerful novel about the life and loves of a foreman named Robert Corvus Strang, who worked on giant dam projects around the world until he was crippled in a fall down a three-hundred-foot dam. Now as he tries to regain use of his legs, he has a chance to reassess his life, and a blasé journalist who has heard of Strang's reputation in the field arrives to draw him out about his various incarnations.
Strang--who has the violently heightened sensibilities of a man who has gone to the limits and back--recounts his monumental life moving from Michigan to Africa and the Amazon, including his several marriages and children, and dozens of lovers. A feisty, passionate novel (Newsday) from a writer whose storytelling instincts are nearly flawless (The New York Times), Sundog is a story as true and gripping as real life, and ultimately as victorious.
