From the Bookshelf of Tyler Public Library…

[close] Quick’s quirky protagonist, David Granger, is a 68 year Viet-Nam vet who has just crashed his BMW and discovered that he has a brain tumor (which he attributes to his exposure to Agent Orange). Granger is an Archie Bunker type; a right-wing Republican, who still somehow managed to charm this liberal reader. Upon awaking after his brain surgery, Granger constantly repeats a name that no one is familiar with: his nemesis Clayton Fire Bear; a fellow vet that he served with in Viet-Nam. This then is the tale of how & why David must reconnect with Fire Bear to finally achieve closure. Quick’s writing is at once both humorous and insightful.
Highly recommended for readers of contemporary fiction and for all Quick fans.
