Download The Ancient Minstrel: Novellas AudioBook Free
New York Times best-selling author Jim Harrison is one of the most precious and acclaimed writers, adored by both consumers and critics. In The Ancient Minstrel, Harrison gives three novellas that highlight his phenomenal range as a writer, shot through along with his brand wit and eager insight in to the human condition. Harrison has remarkable fun along with his own reputation in the name novella about an ageing writer in Montana who spars along with his estranged wife, with whom he still stocks a home; weathers the slings and arrows of literary success; and tries to cope with the sow he buys on the whim and the unplanned litter of piglets that follow soon after. In "Eggs", a Montana girl reminisces about staying in London with her grandparents and collecting eggs at their country house. Years later, having never had a kid, she attempts to do so. And in "THE TRUTH of the Howling Buddhas", retired Detective Sunderson - a continuing personality from Harrison's New York Times best sellers The Great Innovator and The Big Seven - is appointed as an exclusive investigator to look into a bizarre cult that achieves satori by howling along with howler monkeys at the zoo. Fresh, incisive, and endlessly interesting, with moments of both serious wisdom and sublime humor, The Ancient Minstrel is an exceptional reminder of why Jim Harrison is one of the most appreciated and important writers at the job today.
