Synopsis

Book by McGuane Thomas

A propos du livre

Revue de presse

"Full of surprises and rewards and an exhilaration one feels only rarely.... I offer a gentle exhortation -- please read this book." - Newsday

"Thomas McGuane makes the page, the paragraph, the sentence itself a record of continuous imaginative activity.... He is an important as well as a brilliant novelist." --The New York Times Book Review

"McGuane's sense of place, his harsh and delicate exactness of detail are at their keenest." --Newsweek

"Few writers have explored our national malaise as persistently -- or as elegantly -- as Thomas McGuane, a writer whose command of the language has helped define our American loneliness." --Philadelphia Inquirer

Présentation de l'éditeur

A refugee from a world of drug addicts and misfits, Thomas Skelton goes home to Key West. But Key West itself turns out to be an alien world - torrid, hostile and grotesque. Taking up residence in an abandoned airplane fuselage, Skelton plans to become a skiff guide in the shining blue subtropical waters and enters into a competition with Nichol Dance, supreme guide of the Keys. Dance has already killed one man while tending bar in Kentucky and will not hesitate to kill another. But Skelton will not back down and the two, surrounded by an assortment of eccentric characters, embark on a deadly course from which neither can turn back.
