Bow Grip: A Novel

Ivan E. Coyote is one of North Americas most beguiling storytellers and the author of three story collections, including Loose End, which was shortlisted for the Ferro-Grumley Award for Fiction in 2006. Bow Grip, Coyotes first novel, is a breathtaking story about love and loneliness; in it, a good-hearted, small-town mechanic struggles to deal with a wife who has left him for another woman until a used cello and an acquaintances suicide attempt compel him to make some changes in his life. With quiet authority, Bow Grip is about one mans true rite of passagetrying to keep the ghosts of personal history at bay with a heart thats as big as the endless prairie sky.
