In The Bear, the first of three novellas to comprise her forthcoming Wilderness Trilogy, a sensible mid-level insurance adjuster, revisiting his childhood summer camp, meets his nemesis in the form of a headstrong and unaccountable bear. By turns antic, poignant, wry, The Bear offers an artful meditation on the crisis of otherness and the unreckoned cost of control. Trace Farrell's first novel, The Ruins, was awarded the New York University Press Prize for Fiction and received strong critical praise: “This magical novel is rich in plot and characters as well as a skillful use of language that is nothing less than musical” Library Journal “Demonstrating a vein of perversity all her own, Farrell makes a strong bid to join the company of elite postmodern comic writers like Coover andPynchon” Publishers Weekly
