    <![CDATA[Thomas McGuane's high-spirited and fiercely lyrical new novel chronicles the fall and rise of Frank Copenhaver, a man so unhinged by his wife's departure that he finds himself ruining his business, falling in love with the wrong women, and wandering the lawns of his neighborhood, desperate for the merest glimpse of normalcy.<br/><br/>The result is a ruefully funny novel of embattled manhood, set in the country that McGuane has made his own: a Montana where cowboys slug it out with speculators, a cattleman's best friend may be his insurance broker, and love and fishing are the only consolations that last.]]>

    <body><![CDATA[Although certain tropes are repetitive (female hitchhikers smelling like sagebrush, many fishing scenes) and I think the main character receives too much of a pass at the end, the book is laugh-out-loud funny in places. McGuane rambles at times but he has a great gift for dialogue and comic timing. ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/22375345">more...</a>]]></body>

    <![CDATA[Thomas McGuane's high-spirited and fiercely lyrical new novel chronicles the fall and rise of Frank Copenhaver, a man so unhinged by his wife's departure that he finds himself ruining his business, falling in love with the wrong women, and wandering the lawns of his neighborhood, desperate for the merest glimpse of normalcy.<br/><br/>The result is a ruefully funny novel of embattled manhood, set in the country that McGuane has made his own: a Montana where cowboys slug it out with speculators, a cattleman's best friend may be his insurance broker, and love and fishing are the only consolations that last.]]>
