Living alone with his dog in a remote cabin in the woods, Julius Winsome is not unlike the barren winter lands he inhabits: remote, vacant, inscrutable. But when his dog Hobbes is killed by hunters, their carelessness - or is it cruelty? - sets Julius's precarious mindset on end. He is at once more alone than he has ever been: at first he was with his father, until he died; then with Claire, until she disappeared with another man; and then with Hobbes, who eased the sorrow of Claire's departure. Revenge creeps into his mind. In Julius Winsome, Gerard Donovan weaves an extraordinary tale that explores ideas of revenge and the threat of the wild, but one that is also a tender and heartbreaking paean to lost love.
