4.0 out of 5 stars Don't let the title fool you, June 1, 2001
By 
Samien Schoen (Chicago, IL United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Wolf: A False Memoir (Paperback)
This was my first bite into the words of Harrison, and I quickly bought three more of his afterwards. Wolf is not so much about Harrison's hero searching for the beast, but of him searching to find himself in the reality he has thrown himself into over the years. Drying himself off of bourbon and physical and mental loves over the years, while reminiscing over his well travelled youth. With humor and words that are true to the way we speak and think. Sometimes he'll ramble in newfound dreams while walking alone through the woods, where it's hard to follow, but its interesting to see inside his mind during these times. We truly follow his train of thought, which is important in understanding and relating to the man. Harrison's world lives in all of us...

4.0 out of 5 stars A great first novel by an American icon., November 16, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Wolf: A False Memoir (Paperback)
Harrison's first novel is a great book. It shadows the irrevrant character of the novelist himself. From the purpose of the trip [to see wolves] to the final gorging of food in Ishpeming, Harrison takes one on a roller coaster of emotions all bundled up in the persona of a modern man trapped in a world he doesn't understand and that has long foresaken him. Wolf is a must read for Harrrison fans.

4.0 out of 5 stars Stark, brilliant, and honest, July 6, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Wolf: A False Memoir (Paperback)
This novel is one of Harrison's finest; the prose reads like poetry and the protagonist lives poetry.
