About Hunter's Moon: A Novel In Stories
Product Description "Powerful....Caputo's wisdom runs deep. Few writers have better captured the emotional lives of men." ―The New York Times Book ReviewFrom Philip Caputo―the author of A Rumor of War, The Longest Road, and Some Rise By Sin―comes a captivating mosaic of stories set in a small town where no act is private and the past is never really past Hunter’s Moon is set in Michigan’s wild, starkly beautiful Upper Peninsula, where a cast of recurring characters move into and out of each other’s lives, building friendships, facing loss, confronting violence, trying to bury the past or seeking to unearth it. Once-a-year lovers, old high-school buddies on a hunting trip, a college professor and his wayward son, a middle-aged man and his grief-stricken father, come together, break apart, and, if they’re fortunate, find a way forward. Hunter’s Moon offers an engaging, insightful look at everyday lives but also a fresh perspective on the way men navigate in today’s world. Review "Set in the wilds of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, these linked stories deftly probe the emotional wounds of men with lost jobs, bruised egos and failed expectations: an unflinching reality check on the state of middle-age manhood today." ―The New York Times Book Review, Editors' Choice "It’s not necessary to be even vaguely interested in [hunting] to appreciate “Hunter’s Moon,” a skillfully wrought, often mesmerizing novel-in-stories....written in a succinctly lyrical prose...fresh and surprising."―Chicago Tribune "Stellar writing. . . .captivating relationships. . . .Mr. Caputo has written 17 books, mostly novels. His 1977 debut, the memoir A Rumor of War, established him as a first-class storyteller. . . .Additional kudos for his ability to write women who are not only believable and three-dimensional but influential and strong." ―Pittsburgh Post-Gazette "Probing deeply into the male psyche, Caputo confidently tackles subjects that include the sometimes-catastrophic price of failure, the relations between fathers and sons, and the emotional battles faced by returning combat veterans. While hunting figures prominently in most of the stories. . . .even readers unfamiliar with that pursuit will find themselves immersed in Caputo's fast-moving narratives. In vivid and minutely observant prose, he writes with assurance about his characters' wilderness experiences and with equal sensitivity about the captivating natural beauty that surrounds them." ―Kirkus, starred review"Superb storyteller Caputo offers a tapestry weaving the friendships, losses, and past mistakes of ordinary people. Readers of literary fiction will not be disappointed in this first-rate collection." ―Library Journal, starred review "The setting here is the vividly rendered Upper Peninsula of Michigan, but the battlefield nonetheless remains that of men’s souls. While most of the tales involve hunting, Caputo has bigger game in his sights: a study of man versus nature as metaphor for man versus human nature. Both are red in tooth and claw."―Booklist "HUNTER’S MOON brims with a hard beauty that builds upon itself, page by page, story by story, until the smells, sounds and terrain of Upper Michigan come to reside beneath readers' eyelids. Philip Caputo proved his exceptional literary bona fides many books ago and here he is, again making American life rip and howl. The world needs more men in it like the character Will Treadwell, and literature needs more books like this, mesmerizing and profound at once. I savored HUNTER’S MOON and you will too."―Matt Gallagher, author of Youngblood "Phillip Caputo is one of our finest, and too frequently undervalued writers―a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, author of eight novels, five books of nonfiction, and two memoirs, including the iconic Vietnam memoir, A Rumor of War. HUNTER'S MOON marks a departure for Caputo, and a grand success. Set in the largely untapped literary landscape of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, this collection of short stories, each d
