A "Washington Post "Best Novel of the Year
Berl Pickett is a housepainter turned doctor living in the small
town of Livingston, Montana. The son of Pentecostal rug-shampooers,
Pickett has never been the social toast of the town, but when he is
accused of negligent homicide in the death of his former lover, he
finds himself ostracized by his colleagues and realizes just how
small his little village truly is. But fortunately for Berl, the
very thing that sets him apart--his inability to follow the
pack--proves to be his saving grace. With this inglorious hero,
McGuane has created an unforgettable voyager on a darkly funny
journey to salvation.
