Coyote Blue by Christopher Moore


(pb; 1994)

From the back cover

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


Review

Coyote is a laugh-out-loud and fast-moving, with an anything-could-happen urban-fantasy plot and characters worth empathizing with or hissing at. This is an excellent, not-for-children read, worth owning.
