This comic novel is тАЬ[a] whimsical fable of contemporary culture shock. . . . Tautly written with a zest for the absurd and the unpredictableтАЭ (The New York Times Book Review).
As a boy, he was Samson Hunts AloneтАФuntil a deadly misunderstanding with the law forced him to flee the Crow reservation at age fifteen. Today he is Samuel Hunter, a successful Santa Barbara insurance salesman with a Mercedes, a condo, and a hollow, invented life. Then one day, destiny offers him the dangerous gift of loveтАФin the exquisite form of Calliope KincaidтАФand a curse in the unheralded appearance of an ancient god by the name of Coyote. Coyote, the trickster, has arrived to reawaken the mystical storyteller within Sam . . . and to seriously screw up his existence in the process.
