The collection culminates with \u003ci\u003eHe Dog\u003c\/i\u003e, never before published, which finds BD marginally employed and still 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, arriving home to the prospect of family stability and, perhaps, a chance at redemption.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJim Harrison\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of thirty-five previous books of poetry, nonfiction, and fiction, including \u003ci\u003eLegends of the Fall\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Road Home\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eReturning to Earth\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eThe English Major\u003c\/i\u003e.
