About the Book

Editor Amory Scann, hides from his job and family in a hotel room in order to write a novella about the northern wilderness, half-tamed by mad trapper Linden, after whom Scann’s hometown is named. But it is interrupted by episodes of the story he tells the chambermaid he hopes to seduce; by another concerning the building of the hotel where he’s hiding; by a dream about his own brush with WWll; and by an I-spy story that happens in the room next to his. Judged Harlow’s masterpiece, serio-comedic Scann is a celebration of our most appealing and hard-won humanity.
