Winner of the ReLit Award for Best NovelShortlisted for the Ferro-Grumley Award for Women''s FictionAn American Library Association Stonewall Honor BookIvan E. Coyote is acclaimed as one of North America''s most beguiling storytellers; Ivan''s honest, down-to-earth tales, many of which are based on personal experience, are compelling for their simple human truths. Ivan''s 2005 story collection, Loose End, was also shortlisted for the prestigious Ferro-Grumley Award for Fiction. Bow Grip, Ivan''s long-awaited first novel, is a breathtaking story about love and loneliness, and the long road one must travel between them. Joey is a good-hearted, fortysomething mechanic from small-town Alberta whose wife has recently left him for another woman. When a stranger named James approaches his shop and agrees to purchase a beat-up blue Volvo in exchange for a beautiful, hand-crafted cello, Joey sees it as an opportunity to finally make some overdue changes in his life. But some troubling suspicions about James, and a desire to close the door on his failed marriage, compels Joey to hit the road and travel to Calgary, the big city by the Bow River. He stations himself at a rundown motel, where he struggles to learn how to play the cello, and strangers with their own complicated pasts-an older gay man, a single mother-become confidants. With quiet authority, Bow Grip is about one man''s real rite of passage-trying to keep the ghosts of personal history at bay with a heart that''s as big as the endless prairie sky.

The long-awaited first novel by Ivan E. Coyote. Unlike her short stories, which are almost entirely first-person and told from the author's perspective as a self-admitted boyish girl' (though she is not transgender), Bow Grip is a straight, 40-something male who is at a crossroads in his life. The title references Joey's burgeoning interest in the cello ('gripping' the 'bow') as well as Bow River in Calgary, where most of the novel takes place.' Books<
