“So good it hurts to read.”—Annie Proulx Set against a
backdrop of the remote northern Maine wilderness, Now, Look is a
novel about second chances and missed chances. Fishing, hunting,
and the pleasures of outdoor life bring together a mismatched pair
of friends—weaving back and forth between past and present, it
follows the friendship of ivy-league educated George Mayes and
semi-literate woodsman and logger Evan Butcher. George, a drunk
from his college days has a critical, life-changing moment of
insight, and begins postgraduate life, however improbably, as a
reckless school bus driver. After getting clean and sober, he
develops a successful school transportation business. Having taken
a number of trips to the north woods, he has come to know and
revere Evan. At the story’s opening, Evan is a store of
knowledge, decency, and even of wisdom. But after a series of
horrendous family tragedies he begins to succumb to alcohol
himself.
