New Spotlight Selection The Bear by Andrew Krivak

A cautionary tale of human fragility from National Book Award finalist Andrew Krivak, The Bear is a stunning tribute to the beauty of nature’s dominion. “...endowed with such fullness of meaning that you have to assign this short, touching book its own category: the post-apocalypse utopia.”

–The Wall Street Journal
