About This Book

An ex-convict returns to his town resolved to prove his physical superiority and to settle old grudges, only to find his household and neighbors have carried on without him. A confrontation with a small white puppy that fiercely bites him leads him to adopt the animal and to interpret its courage as validation of his beliefs about strength. He applies his muscle to skilled labor, abstains from drink, and is outwardly regarded as reformed, while private frustrations and a readiness for violence persist beneath attempts at domestic responsibility and social reintegration.
