Reviews"Like [Scott Smith's] A Simple Plan, Beartooth is a gripping, rural-set adventure novel in which brothers make a terrible decision that permanently alters their lives and their relationship to each other.... Wink is a spare, exacting writer. It's not until Beartooth reaches its raw conclusion that you realize there's not a word out of place and that virtually all the events in the brothers' doomed lives seem to have been forecast by the ominous first sentence." --Minnesota Star "In this transportive novel of two brothers living on the margins in the Beartooth mountains of Montana . . . Wink mesmerizes with his descriptions of nature and the men's survival skills, and he successfully portrays the brothers' humanity in their dance between struggling for dominance and wanting to support each other." --Publishers Weekly "A novel of impeccable control and unflinching darkness. And then a glimmer of hope." -- Kirkus (starred review) "One of the best and fiercest heist stories since A Simple Plan . . . Beartooth is unstoppable, the literary treasure you've been looking for." --Junot Diaz, Pulitzer-prize winning author of The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao "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 "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 and The Heavenly Table "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 " 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 "Callan Wink's Beartooth evokes the breathtaking beauty of Yellowstone in its tense exploration of the complicated love and survival of two brothers.""Wink, who is a fly-fishing guide on the Yellowstone River when he's not writing beautifully told short stories and novels, is a master craftsman: his dialogue is pitch perfect, his characters breathtakingly real, and the setting so vividly described it that we can feel the mud seeping into our socks and hear the water from the hole in the ceiling plinking into the metal bowl on the floor. A remarkable, memorable novel." --Booklist, "One of the best and fiercest heist stories since A Simple Plan . . . Beartooth is unstoppable, the literary treasure you've been looking for." --Junot Diaz, Pulitzer-prize winning author of The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao "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.

Synopsis"Skip Yellowstone for this rawer version of the West." --New York Times Book Review Two brothers in dire straits, living on the edge of Yellowstone, agree to a desperate act of survival in this taut, propulsive novel reminiscent of the works of Peter Heller and Donald Ray Pollock. In an aging, timber house hand-built into the Absaroka-Beartooth mountains, two brothers are struggling to keep up with their debts. They live off the grid, on the fringe of Yellowstone, surviving off the wild after the death of their father. Thad, the elder, is more capable of engaging with things like the truck registration, or the medical bills they can't afford from their father's fatal illness, or the tax lien on the cabin their grandfather built, while Hazen is . . . different, more instinctual, deeply in tune with the natural world. Desperate for money, they are approached by a shadowy out-of-towner with a dangerous proposition that will change both of their lives forever. Beartooth is a fast-paced tale with moments of surprising poignancy set in the grandeur of the American West. Evoking the timeless voices of American pastoral storytelling, this is a bracing, masterful novel about survival, revenge, and the bond between brothers., A cinematic, propulsive novel about a heist gone wrong and the bond between two brothers, for readers of American Rust and The Devil All the Time . Beartooth is a novel about two survivalist brothers in desperate straits, who are lured into committing a crime in Yellowstone National Park. Thad and Hazen, long ago abandoned by their wayward mother, are drowning in medical bills and notices about back taxes. They live alone in an aging, timber house hand-built into the leeside of the Beartooth Mountains. Thad's the older brother, responsible, a loner, the caretaker of Hazen, who is a little . . . different. Until recently, they made ends meet the same way their father did: by working thirteen-hour days up and down the mountain splitting firewood, selling the cords door-to-door. When a menacing figure named The Scot appears with a lucrative proposition to extract stolen artifacts out of Yellowstone, the brothers can't refuse, despite the staggering odds and the enormous risk. Evoking the most timeless voices of American pastoral storytelling, from John Steinbeck to Cormac McCarthy, Beartooth is a bracing, profoundly moving novel about survival, revenge, and escape., "One of the best and fiercest heist stories since A Simple Plan . . . Beartooth is unstoppable, the literary treasure you've been looking for."--Junot Díaz Two brothers in dire straits, living on the edge of Yellowstone, agree to a desperate act of survival in this taut, propulsive novel reminiscent of the works of Peter Heller and Donald Ray Pollock.
