Coyote Blue

Coyote Blue, Original Cover (c) Christopher Moore

 

 

As a boy growing up in Montana, he was Sampson Hunts Alone -- until a deadly misunderstanding with the law forced him to flee the Crow reservation at age fifteen. Today he is a successful Santa Barbara insurance salesman with a Mercedes, a condo and a hollow, invented life. Then one day, shortly after his thirty-fifth birthday, destiny offers Samuel Hunter the dangerous gift of love in the exquisite form of Calliope Kincaid -- and a curse in the unheralded appearance of an ancient Indian god by the name of Coyote. Coyote, the trickster, has arrived to transform tranquility into chaos, to reawaken the mystical storyteller within Sam... and to seriously screw up his existence in the process.

 

 

"California sunshine meets American Indian myth in this whimsical tale of contemporary culture shock... tautly written with a zest for the absurd and the unpredictable."
-- The New York Time Book Review
"Moore excels at putting a comic spin on cosmic issues."
-- San Francisco Chronicle
"Downright laugh-out-loud, can't-put-the-book-down funny... Moore's storytelling style is reminiscent of Vonnegut and Douglas Adams."
-- Philadelphia Inquirer
"An amusing, escalating, farcical anarchy."
-- Boston Sunday Globe
"Brilliant... Moore's raucous, lewd, hip novel is part love story and part spiritual search."
-- Santa Barbara Independent
"If Carlos Castaneda had created his Don Juan with a greater sense of humor, the result would have been Coyote. A fascinating trip."
-- Patti Davis
