"And when, on the still cold nights, he pointed his nose at a star and howled long and wolflike, it was his ancestors, dead and dust, pointing nose at star and howling down through the centuries and through him."

from The Call of the Wild by Jack London

Right from the start

The Tiger's Wife

Title: The Tiger's Wife
By: Tea Obreht

Once in a while, what sounds like hype is just the facts, ma'am, just the facts. Tea Obreht's highly touted The Tiger's Wife is an astonishing first novel. It has the resonance of myth, a story we've always known. Its poetry is restrained, its magic natural. It's exciting to contemplate what a writer so surefooted from the start will do next.
