|  | The Pilgrim Hawk by Glenway Wescott, Michael Cunningham
This short novel, originally published in 1940, is about an American in Paris who, at the home of a friend, encounters an Irish couple and their falcon, with whom they have an ambiguous relationship that centers on a power struggle. THE PILGRIM HAWK is considered a classic novella, and has often been compared to Faulkner's THE BEAR--not in terms of content but for its quality. The introduction was written by Michael Cunningham.
