An anthology of all of the Brown Dog novellas includes a previously unpublished story and follows the down-on-his-luck Michigan Native American's misadventures with an overindulgent lifestyle, his two adopted children and an ersatz activist who steals his bearskin. 35,000 first printing.

?What Harrison does on every page of Brown Dog is have fun . . . not simply for the sake of delight but because he believes delight is as close to sublimity as humans can get. . . . The great project of life, he reminds us, is to sit still long enough to appreciate it.” ?Anthony Doerr, The New York Times Book Review

?Brown Dog is . . . an everyman on the most fundamental level . . . vividly, evocatively, alive. . . . These novellas read like a nuanced conversation between author and character. . . . Masterful.” ?David Ulin, Los Angeles Times

New York Times best-selling author Jim Harrison is one of America’s most beloved writers. Of all his creations, Brown Dog has earned cult status with readers in the more than two decades since his first appearance, scrambling to stay out of jail after his salvage-diving operation uncovers the frozen body of an Indian man in the waters of Lake Superior. A Publishers Weekly Best Book of the Year, now in paperback, this book gathers together all the Brown Dog novellas, including one that has never been published.

Brown Dog is a bawdy, reckless, down-on-his-luck Michigan Indian, a former pulp cutter who looks on work as something to do when he needs money, far inferior to the pleasures of fishing. Of course, the flip side of this is that he’s never far from catastrophe. Overindulging in food, drink, and women while just scraping by, B.D. meets a nubile archaeologist who presses him for the location of a sacred Native American burial ground; the ensuing flirtation with radicalization results in B.D. wandering Los Angeles in search of a stolen bearskin. When he returns home a little older and wiser, B.D. will seek out family and end up pining for the lesbian social worker who’s pushing him toward stability. The collection culminates with ?He Dog,” written for this book, which finds B.D. still marginally employed and looking for love (or sometimes just a few beers and a roll in the hay) as he goes on a road trip from Michigan to Montana and back, in search of an answer to the riddle of family and, perhaps, a chance at redemption.

Witty and poignantly human, Brown Dog underscores Harrison’s place as one of America’s most irrepressible writers, and one of our finest practitioners of the novella form. It is the ideal introduction (or reintroduction) to Harrison’s irresistible everyman.

Praise for Brown Dog:

A Publishers Weekly Best Book of 2013

What Harrison does on every page of Brown Dog is have fun . . . not simply for the sake of delight but because he believes delight is as close to sublimity as humans can get. . . . The great project of life, he reminds us, is to sit still long enough to appreciate it.Anthony Doerr, The New York Times Book Review

Brown Dog is . . . an everyman on the most fundamental level . . . vividly, evocatively, alive. . . . These novellas read like a nuanced conversation between author and character. . . . Masterful.David Ulin, Los Angeles Times

Harrisons writing is funny, generous, and bittersweet, with an unexpected, plain-speaking poetry.Andrea Denhoed, New Yorker (OnlineBooks to Watch Out For)

Theres no mistaking Harrisons signature style. . . . Brown Dog is rich in character and incident, rude humor and melancholy. It is both heartfelt and ruefully real.William S. Kowinski, The San Francisco Chronicle

The delightful and maddening character of Brown Dog . . . [ is] one of Harrisons best-loved creations. . . . [ Brown Dog] stands among Harrisons best work.Tim McNulty, The Seattle Times

Harrisons [ prose] is exuberant. . . . I cant think of a better writer on the clash of humans and the natural world. Hes a force of nature on the page.Porter Shreve, The Washington Post

Lovable . . . Brown Dog . . . is a big-hearted rascal who is always getting into deep trouble with the ladies, and often with the law. . . . Strong and spirited, and there is some great storytelling here.Jim Carmin, Minneapolis Star Tribune

Is there another novelist in the last hundred years who has developed a character as vivid as Brown Dog? . . . Mr. Harrisons . . . skill at developing and fleshing out characters into breathing beingspeople you know or once knewis remarkable.Jonathan Rickard, New York Journal of Books

B.D.s adventures are quirky, sometimes humorous, sometimes illegal. . . . But his simplicity is all on the surface. As Harrison artfully shows, inside B.D. roil the complexities of his past, a past that dances in ancient choreography with his presentand his future. Daniel Dyer, The Cleveland Plain Dealer

One of literatures great characters. . . . An essential collection from an American legend.Publishers Weekly (Best of 2013)

One of Americas greatest writers . . . An indelible character . . . Brown Dog is a robust, ribald, and irreverent tribute to the idea and ideal of maximum life.David Masciotra, The Daily Beast

Rollicking comic novellas . . . Brown Dog is very much an American heronot the macho blowhard kind but the picaresque variety, a la Huck Finn.Colette Bancroft, Tampa Bay Times

Deeply magnetic . . . [ Brown Dog] leaps off the page with the same comedy and verve that Ignatius J. Reilly does in . . . A Confederacy of Dunces.Dimitri Nasrallah, Toronto Star (Canada)

One of the great characters in American literatureas American as Twains Huck Finn or Hemingways Nick Adams.Bruce Jacobs, Shelf Awareness

Pity poor Brown Dog, the Everyman of the North Woods, whose luck would be nonexistent were it not bad. Still, Brown Dogs countenance is as cheerful as Don Quixotes was woeful. . . . Rollicking, expertly observed, beautifully written. Any new book by Harrison is cause for joy, and having all the Brown Dog stories in one place is no exception.Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
