New York: Atlantic Monthly Press, 2005. Hardcover. First edition. A fine copy in a fine dust jacket. Signed by the author on a front free endpaper. Three novellas. In the title novella, Brown Dog, a hapless Michigan Indian loved by Harrison's readers, is trying to parent his two stepchildren and take care of his family's health on meager resources - it helps a bit that his charms are irresistible to the new dentist in town.

Tracking is a meditation on Harrison's fascination with place, telling his own familiar mythology through the places he has seen and the intellectual loves he has known in a vivid stream of consciousness that transfigures how we look at our own surroundings.
