About

"Dazzling…. Vann knows the darkness but he writes from the compassionate light of art.  This is an essential book."  -Robert Olen Butler, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of A Good Scent from a Strange Mountain



"Exceptional….An unflinching portrait of bad faith and bad dreams." -Ron Rash, author of Burning Bright



Set against the backdrop of Alaska's unforgiving wilderness, Caribou Island is David Vann's dark and captivating tale of a marriage pulled apart by rage and regret.  With this eagerly anticipated debut novel, a masterful follow-up to his internationally bestselling short fiction anthology, Legend of a Suicide, Vann takes up the mantle of Louise Erdrich, Marilyn Robinson, and Rick Moody, delivering a powerfully wrought, enthrallingly emotional narrative of struggle and isolation.
