I just purchased, scanned and have submitted the latest book of fiction by
Montana author Thomas McGuane.
I think maybe I’m getting old!
it seems like only yesterday when I scanned and submitted McGuane’s last book
of short stories, Gallatin Canyon.
But I guess it was 9 years ago!
Yikes, huh?
This new one is another beauty, IMHO.
And what I really enjoyed as a scanner was this: Zero images, zero captions,
just good clean text! Hooray.
Hope someone will want to proofread it.
Details below.
Thanks.

CROW FAIR - Thomas McGuane
ISBN-10: 0385350198 ISBN-13: 9780385350198
Published: Knopf Pages: 288
description: From one of our most deeply admired storytellers, author of the
richly acclaimed Gallatin Canyon, his first collection in nine years. Set in
Thomas McGuane’s accustomed Big Sky country, with its mesmeric powers, these
stories attest to the generous compass of his fellow feeling, as well as to his
unique way with words and the comic genius that has inspired comparison with
Twain and Gogol. The ties of family make for uncomfortable binds: A devoted son
is horrified to discover his mother’s antics before she slipped into dementia.
A father’s outdoor skills are no match for an ominous change in the weather.
But complications arise equally in the absence of blood, as when lifelong
friends on a fishing trip finally confront their deep dislike for each other.
Or when a gifted traveling cattle breeder succumbs to the lure of a stranger’s
offer of easy money. McGuane is as witty and large-hearted as we have ever
known him—a jubilant, thunderous confirmation of his status as a modern master.
