Description

A tale of two brothers in desperate straits and one high-stakes poaching trip in Yellowstone from a Dylan Thomas Prize shortlisted author.

In the Montana backcountry live two brothers who run a saw mill and do a little poaching on the side. Thad is the brains of the operation. His brother Hazen has a talent for tracking and hunting and getting himself into trouble. Together they have just about made it work, but now there are mounting bills, a leaky roof and winter is closing in. When a menacing figure known as the Scot offers them a risky but potentially lucrative hunting job in Yellowstone National Park, the brothers can't refuse, but before long the precarious nature of their lives and their bond is exposed.

From a fresh new voice in American fiction, this is a propulsive, bracing story about the cost of survival set against the unforgiving wilderness of the American northwest.

Advance Praise

‘One of the best and fiercest heist stories since A Simple PlanBeartooth is unstoppable, the literary treasure you’ve been looking for’ Junot Diaz, Pulitzer-prize winning author of The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao

Beartooth sank its teeth into me. I had a hard time closing the covers, getting out of my chair, because I was truly utterly transported to the logging roads and snow-melt rivers of Montana. Callan Wink treats nature as a holy altar and a widening mouth, and he writes a story that moves as fast as a bullet down a barrel. His characters and their troubles—especially the two misfit brothers at the heart of this novel—will live with me for a long time’ Benjamin Percy, author of Red Moon and The Comet Cycle

'I found something to love on every page of Beartooth, a moving and tightly drawn novel about two brothers trying to eke out a hardscrabble, sometimes illegal living on the edge of Yellowstone after their father dies. Callan Wink is a truly gifted writer' Donald Ray Pollock, author of The Devil All the Time

'Callan Wink’s Beartooth blew me away. Wink writes with an elegant precision that makes the weight of sadness on the heart as palpable as the weight of a past-due notice in his character’s hands. What begins as propulsively as a finely drawn thriller ultimately resolves itself into something much more profound than that, at times in contact with the ineffable itself. I read it in a single sitting, but I’ll be thinking about it for a long, long time to come' Kevin Powers, author of The Yellow Birds

'Ferocious, propulsive, elemental - Beartooth is both intimate and epic, a tale in which fellowship, freedom and beautiful wildness are inextricable from savagery, desperation, and brutal realism. This is vital writing, a novel to be celebrated' Colin Walsh, author of Kala

‘Callan Wink's Beartooth shows a Montana that is fueled by grit, vengeance, elbow grease, and desperation. Wink has a poet’s eye for the landscape, and his characters are as textured as the mountains they call home’ Steven Rinella, author and host of The MeatEater Podcast
