Description
In writing his memoirs, Higgins exposes the sources for many of his novels and stories, giving the readers a rare look into the "story behind the story." But A Bestiary is more than a factual expose - this collection of memories is constructed in a novelistic way, creating a work of literary art out of a life."--Jacket.
