Listener Martin Ford recommended this to us and we had to read it because it seemed so absurd. How could a book like this win a literary award? A book about a librarian having sex with a bear can't possibly be good.
...but it was. This book was actually quite great, all things considered.
Thanks again to Martin for the recommendation!
