Bear by Marian Engel
BEAR by MARIAN ENGEL
Set on an island in Canada, Bear follows Lou, a bibliographer who has been sent to document an old colonial house after its owner has died. Also living on the island is Bear, a bear. Needless to say, Lou begins a sexual relationship with the bear. Not needless to say? Oh, ok, no, you’re right, that is kinda odd. What does it say about me that I really enjoyed/loved this book? What about the fact that I’m now looking at bears in a whole new light?! 😂 kidding, kinda.
I couldn’t put this book down. Aside from the bear sex, the story of a woman living alone on an island in a big house and having to be self sufficient and in tune with nature was also really intriguing. It reminded me a bit of Margaret Atwood’s Surfacing and I really enjoyed that premise. Almost a bit like Circe when she’s living alone on that island. If you know any other books like that, let me know (bestiality nonessential but preferred!) 😂
