But complications arise equally in the absence of blood, as when lifelong friends on a fishing trip finally confront their deep dislike for each other. Or when a gifted traveling cattle breeder succumbs to the lure of a stranger's offer of easy money. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e McGuane is as witty and large-hearted as we have ever known him, and \u003ci\u003eCrow Fair\u003c\/i\u003e is a jubilant, thunderous confirmation of his status as a modern master.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTHOMAS McGUANE lives on a ranch in McLeod, Montana.
