Won the PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction (1998).

The Bear Comes Home won the PEN/Faulkner Award for Fiction. The hero of this sensational debut novel is an alto-sax virtuoso trying to evolve a personal style out of Coltrane and Rollins. He also happens to be a walking, talking, Blake- and Shakespeare-quoting bear whose musical, spiritual, and romantic adventures add up to perhaps the best novel, ursine or human, ever written about jazz.
