The Bear Comes Home

A debut novel about Bear, a black Grizzly who plays alto saxophone well enough to make his mark in the world of Manhattan`s jazz clubs. On the eve of cutting his first album, however, Bear is hauled off to jail for violating an obscure statute regulating animal acts in New York cabarets. How will he escape extradition back to the backwoods? Zabor manages suspense and satire equally well in this deft parody of music, ambition, and fame. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005.
