Synopsis

A new edition revised and edited by the author. Nominated for the Governor General's Award for Fiction in 1978, Raymond Fraser's relentlessly funny third novel tells the story of a group of young Maritimers forever dreaming of "goin' down the road" and making it big in Toronto. Their drinking bouts, their womanizing and their adventuring in small-town New Brunswick somehow get in the way of their ambitions. Outrageous and unforgivingly accurate.

"It's well-written, it's touching, it's full of life, and it's funny." ANDRE VIGNEAULT, CBC Radio

"It's a book of soul and spirit. Its characters are real, vibrant, enjoyable and maddening." STEPHEN PATRICK CLARE & TREVOR J. ADAMS, Atlantic Canada's 100 Greatest Books

"A rollicking story, well told." WILLIAM FRENCH, Globe & Mail

"Above all the book is ALIVE. This in the final analysis is the best test of any work of art. It moves and vibrates with all the dynamic energy of the mighty Miramichi River, that great river that flows through the colorful country of the lives of the novel's characters." DAVE BUTLER, Miramichi Press

"Fraser is a Canadian literary legend. If every writer wrote with the clarity and gusto Fraser does, more people would still be readers." ALAN TEPPER
