Written in 1968, Thomas Savage's novel examines the lives of two brothers in 1925 who have spent most of their lives together on a Montana ranch. Phil Burbank is the good-looking one, quick to learn, well-read and well-spoken, a college graduate, and who has a mean streak that he uses to manipulate others and get his way. George is younger, kind-hearted, slower to get his words out, a college drop-out, somewhat stocky and certainly less charismatic than Phil. Phil likes to tease George in his mean way and his pet name for his brother is 'fatso'. They have shared the same bedroom since childhood and Phil is shocked when George marries and brings his wife home.George's wife, Rose, has been widowed since her husband committed suicide. Her love for George is genuine but Phil is convinced that she is a conniving, money grubbing low-life who married George only for his money. The Burbank family is very rich, coming from old Boston money which they've multiplied by having the most successful ranch in their part of the state. The Burbanks hobnob with the Governor and are big donors to many charities. Phil has made it his mission to make Rose feel as uncomfortable and unwelcome as is possible. He tries to avoid Rose and to not speak to her at all. Her stress over this creates headaches and eventually drives her to drink.Rose's son Peter doesn't live with her for most of the year. Because he is attending school, he has a room in town. A somewhat strange and effeminate child, he is very intelligent and wants to become a physician, following in his dead father's footsteps. When he does end up spending a summer on the ranch, a very strange dynamic begins to form between Phil and him.This novel tackles the subjects of repressed homosexuality, anti-semitism, and alcoholism, all somewhat edgy topics for its time. Phil is a repressed homosexual who, at first, attempts to create as much animosity towards Peter as he can. He mimics Peter to the ranch hands and they whistle at him as they would at a woman.Thomas Savage, an unknown writer to me until now, has created a brilliant psychological character study of a man whose demons pervade every aspect of his life. On the surface, Phil is a 'man's man', the one who ranchers emulate and who talks frequently about his hero, Bronco Henry, a true cowboy. However, Phil's repression creates a spew of hate towards anyone who thwarts his own twisted self-perception.Savage explores deep moral ravines and the ravages of self-hate. He is a writer that I wish I'd known about sooner and who deserves a place with the great writers of the west with whom I'm familiar - Stegner, McCormac, Proulx, and McMurtry. There is a wonderful afterwards by Annie Proulx in the edition I have which closely examines Savage's themes and characters.
I had never heard of Thomas Savage up until a month or two ago. The Power of the Dog is indeed powerful stuff though. Set in Montana ranching country in the 1920s, it deals with subjects that would have been near-verboten back then: homosexuality and pedophilia are only hinted at throughout much of Savage's book, but finally come out into the open in the final explosive chapters. The two rancher brothers, Phil and George Burbank, are two of the most fully realized characters in western fiction in the past fifty years. It would be easy to see this story as a kind of Cain and Abel parable, but it's a bit more complicated than that. As the tale progresses, you learn, bit by bit, how Phil may have come to be the way he is. While not wholly evil, he comes damn close. George, on the other hand, seems a completely sympathetic sort, albeit an unlikely hero with his slow and careful ways. The Power of the Dog is quite simply and excellent book, enough so that I will be looking for more of Savage's work. He wrote more than a dozen novels in a career that spanned over fifty years. Savage died in 2003 at the age of 88. I for one am happy that his work has been reintroduced to new generations of readers. Writer Annie Proulx has added a wonderful Afterword to this 2001 edition of the book that provides an abbreviated primer on the life and work of Thomas Savage. - Tim Bazzett, author of the Reed City Boy trilogy
Originally published in 1967 by Little Brown, this reissue has all the qualities of first-rate literary fiction, and what Annie Proulx calls in her afterword, "... a work of literary art." Then why is Thomas Savage not a big name on the literary landscape, like Hemmingway, Faulkner, or the contemporaries like Cormac McCarthy or Proulx herself? I had to read Proulx's afterword to realize why readers in 1967 weren't coaxed into buying Savage's novel. There's no doubt in my mind that it was a review blitz that damned its progress, and though Proulx's afterword comes highly in praise, I fear that one of her earlier points could still have the same effect even today. In THE POWER OF THE DOG, set in the 1920's on a Montana ranch, brothers and polar opposites, Phil and George Burbank, share the duties of managing one of the wealthiest ranching operations in the state. Though powerful and envied by many, the Burbanks battle their own form of intrapersonal loneliness. George -- the younger of the two, a stocky, polite and quiet type, who doesn't mind a suit of clothes and can often be seen driving his Reo automobile -- is forever holding back the manipulating ways of Phil, a lean and rugged cowboy who rarely changes his work clothes, bathes once a month (and not at all in the wintertime), and never wears gloves of any kind for any reason. The only force that could ever bring the relationship face to face is undoubtedly a woman, but contrary to most plots, this woman is loved by one, and despised by the other. Phil humiliates the woman's husband publicly to the point where he commits suicide. George is soon there to console her, remedying his own need for love and companionship. After a short courtship he brings her home to the ranch as his wife. Not at all happy, Phil is determined to drive her away, and hopefully before her son -- away at boarding school and one Phil calls a sissy - comes to stay for the summer. THE POWER OF THE DOG is a rich and enthralling tale, brilliantly written with all the qualities of most classic literature. Larry Watson, author of MONTANA 1948 referred to it as "... a masterpiece." With "... the dynamics of family, the varieties of love, and the ethos of the American West." That review alone might have induced more readers, but the Publisher's Weekly review of January 2, 1967, may have proved that the novel wasn't ready for an audience not yet exposed to the hidden community, or the gay rights movement of later in that decade, thus having "... strong literary but rather less commercial appeal." Though it is hinted in the novel that Phil is a repressed homosexual, it is not so blatant that it becomes disturbing, even to most homophobics. The story has so many other stronger qualities that far outweigh any alarming aspect of Phil's implied nature, that it should not have turned away any reader in 1967, no more than it would turn them away in 2001. THE POWER OF THE DOG is undoubtedly a classic novel, and Thomas Savage a treasure to the letters.
Excellent (though very dark) prose. There was an aura of 'gloom and doom' throughout this novel. A sense of impending trouble and sadness was on every page, and the ENDING did not disappoint. I sort of of figured out the driving plot, but the final few pages dealt a real surprise. Highly recommend to anyone who likes to read all genres. Actually wanted to give 4.5 stars.
