From the Back Cover:
Having abandoned Manhattan after too many heatless apartments, nameless women, and drunken escapades, Swanson takes to the road and a life of wandering, hitch-hiking and vagrancy – a hand-to-mouth existence that takes him across America with only Rimbaud, Dostoevsky and hard liquor to provide him with a sense of permanence. Eventually he finds himself back in the wilderness of northern Michigan. Roaming the woods in the hope that he might catch a glimpse of one of the rare wolves that prowl the territory, Swanson recalls his many wild nights stalking across the United States. 'Wolf', Harrison's first novel, is a boisterous, eloquent meditation on youth, nature, America, poetry, and what it means to live with an open, if often wounded, heart.
