Something to Be Desired-Fast Shipping

Description

Afunny, rueful, and beautifully rendered portrait of American manhood on therocks from the highly acclaimed author of Cloudbursts and Ninety-two in the Shade

In life Lucien Taylor has made several mistakes,but the two most grievous are as follows: leaving his wife and son to take upwith his old flame, Emily; and putting up Emily’s bail when she is arrestedfor murder. The upshot is that Lucien is left stranded in Montana, with amalodorous hot spring and a squandered sense of purpose.

As told by ThomasMcGuane, Lucien’s attempt to recoup his losses makes for a book that saysvolumes about the lives of dogs and falcons, the yearnings of sons forfathers, and the skeptical truce that men and women sometimes reach when theyget tired of fighting.
