The Summer He Didn't Die by Jim Harrison; Unabridged MP3 Audio Book; Narrator Lloyd James, and Marguerite

Celebrated author Jim Harrison delivers a collection of three novellas infused with the wisdom and wit that have made him a master writer. The title novella, “The Summer He Didn’t Die”, introduces us to Brown Dog, a hapless but charming Michigan Indian trying to parent his two stepchildren on meager resources. “Republican Wives” is a riotous satire on the sexual neuroses of the political right and the irrational nature of love. “Tracking” tells the author’s life story as a tale of the places that have marked it.

“Somewhere in that big literary acreage staked out by Thoreau, Hemingway, and Hunter Thompson is a chunk of space for Jim Harrison.”—Playboy

“Touching…Showcases the ability to get inside women’s heads that’s always distinguished Harrison from his muy macho peers… [An] emotionally truthful self-portrait.”—Kirkus Reviews

“Harrison's command of the novella form is as impressive as the range of his voices…This set of short fictions shifts pitch-perfect perspectives effortlessly, with a lightness that belies its depth.”—Publishers Weekly

“Harrison's earthy prose, uniquely evocative of place, is economical, precise, and hearty, and is sometimes startling in its ability to touch on core truths.”—Booklist
