{"product_id":"our-savage-isbn-9781593760670","title":"Our Savage","description":"In 1865 a baby--too large a baby to pass through anyone's hips--is born to a couple at the crumbling edge of Europe where the horror of pending war is already in the air. By any measure too large, our hero can develop no patience for his determined, dinky fellows, and so from the Balkan backwater of his birth and his youth as a precocious highwayman, to intrigues at court in Vienna, the problem remains the same--he is by one means and another continually wearing out his welcome.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn this bawdy first novel by Matt Pavelich, Danny Savage migrates to the New World in 1899, where he finally settles an empty, rough corner of Wyoming with his epic shrew of a wife, Stoja. In Savage's wake are spent empires, ruptured families, collateral lives that have touched and fallen away.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNot since Ken Kesey burst on the scene with \u003ci\u003eSometimes a Great Notion\u003c\/i\u003e has the West produced such an exciting and accomplished new novelist. Matt Pavelich has given us a giant's coat tails to ride upon, let us wear for a while his seven-league boots.\u003cb\u003eMatt Pavelich\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of the novel \u003ci\u003eOur Savage\u003c\/i\u003e and the short story collection \u003ci\u003eBeasts of the Forest\u003ci\u003e, \u003ci\u003eBeasts of the Field\u003c\/i\u003e, which won the Montana First Book Award. Awarded Michener and Montana Arts Council fellowships, he lives in Montana.\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e","brand":"Counterpoint","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46301218570469,"sku":"NP9781593760670","price":15.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9781593760670.jpg?v=1767734338","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/our-savage-isbn-9781593760670","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
