Beartooth, the second novel by the Montana-based writer Callan Wink, opens with two brothers elbow-deep in the viscera of the third black bear they have just shot out of season.

The skull, claws and skin will swell their illegal bounty by another $500.

Matt Lloyd-Rose, authorHaving worked as a carer, primary school teacher and volunteer police officer, I’m always on the lookout for literary non-fiction that explores big social questions: searing, lyrical books like Citizen by Claudia Rankine or Evicted by Matthew Desmond. I’ve felt for a while, though, that compared with the amount of great new writing about adjacent subjects, such as climate or health, relatively few books are written about education, community, care or inclusion.
