OverviewFiction. ALONE WITH THE OWL is a diverse and magical collection of stories with a rare and lyrical sensibility. Ranging from the domestic and tame to the comic and fantastic, Davis takes the reader into a bizarre world of fantasy and metaphor. Praised by Tim O'Brien, Dorothy Allison, and Walker Percy for his first book, RUMORS FROM THE LOST WORLD (New Rivers Press, 1993), Davis demonstrates an imagination whose characters and scenarios, in the words of Tim O'Brien, linger in the memory like a hometown--a place I once lived in and once loved.
