English Summary/英文概要： The thirteen stories in Chris Tarry s richly imagined debut, How To Carry Bigfoot Home, lay bare the insurmountable forces that determine who we are and who we become. From an out-of-work dragon-slaying father in Here Be Dragons to a family arguing aboard a rocket ship in Topics in Advanced Rocketry, the stories use fantastic settings, blazing wit, and imaginative circumstances to explore very human truths. The stories work to reconcile the public self with the private heart. To contemplate the monsters we carry home and lay bare for the ones we love the most."

Awards/获奖情况：“从一个倒霉的中世纪家庭主夫，在他那只有一个房间的茅屋里玩着骗人的游戏，到一个失败的大脚怪创意写作老师，克里斯•特里的故事从所有可能的角度探讨了男性作为男孩的问题。当涉及到人际关系时，这些故事滑稽而又辛辣地唤起了人们的共鸣，冬天就要来了而所有的男人都住在漏水的茅草屋顶下，即使失败像老朋友一样不断地来访，他们依然会相信自己处于转机的边缘。——吉姆•谢泼德，获奖故事《你认为那很糟糕》和《X计划》的作者

“《如何把大脚兽带回家》中的故事完全痴迷于男性魅力：一个人怎样才能成为父亲、儿子、兄弟和丈夫呢？男人应该“做什么”，他们可能会有什么样的恶作剧和暴力？在他们欢快的语言游戏和超现实主义氛围中，特里的故事让我想起了乔治•桑德斯的那些故事，但在这部生动的处女作中，他有自己的精彩之处。”

"Chris Tarry’s stories come at what we might call The Problem of Men as Boys from all possible angles, from a hapless medieval stay-at-home Dad who’s running a con game out of his one-room hovel to a Bigfoot who’s a sad failure as a creative writing teacher. These stories hilariously and poignantly evoke the way, when it comes to relationships, all men are living under a leaky thatched roof with winter on the way, always believing they’re on the edge of a turnaround, even though failure keeps returning like an old friend back in town." --Jim Shepard, Story Prize-winning author of" You Think That’s Bad" and" Project X " "The stories in "How To Carry Bigfoot Home" are fruitfully obsessed with maleness: How does one manage to be a father, a son, a brother, a husband? What are men supposed to "do," and what mischief and violence might they have up their sleeves? In their gleeful linguistic play and surrealistic vibe, Tarry’s tales remind me of those of George Saunders, but he’s up to his very own wonderful thing in this vivid debut."
