In this story of an Everyman rediscovering that life is special, Coyote is telling all our stories, and it's impossible to read the novel without feeling like the author has been sneaking around behind us, observing the way we live and the way we think. Coyote's first novel--she has published three short-story collections to considerable acclaim in Canada--is gently written, with a leisurely pace that allows us plenty of time to get to know Joey like a friend. What he finds, though, is a lot more than he counted on, and a search for a cello instructor becomes, in a laid-back sort of way, a quest for personal fulfillment. All rights reserved
Coyote is one of North America’s most beguiling storytellers and the author of three story collections, including Loose End, which was shortlisted for the Ferro-Grumley Award for Fiction in 2006.

Ivan E. With quiet authority, Bow Grip is about one man’s true rite of passage—trying to keep the ghosts of personal history at bay with a heart that’s as big as the endles
