The Power of the Dog : A Novel
First published in 1967 to critical raves, Thomas Savage's The  Power of the Dog now includes an afterword by Annie Proulx. It  traces the tense relationship between two bachelor brothers,  Phil and George Burbank, on a Montana ranch in the 1920s. When  George marries a widow, Phil, a bullying, repressed homosexual,  terrorizes his new sister-in-law. And when her teenage son comes  to the ranch, things get even more complicated. This is just the  first reissue of a long-out-of-print book by Savage, hailed as a  true master of the western genre. I Heard My Sister Speak My  Name is scheduled for this fall, retitled The Sheep Queen.Copyright 2001 Reed Business Information, Inc.--This text refers to theHardcoveredition.
