Publisher Comments:

Set in Key West — the nation's extreme limit — this is the story of a man seeking refuge from a world of drug addiction by becoming a skiff guide for tourists — even though a tough competitor threatens to kill him.

Review:

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

Review:

"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

Review:

"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

Review:

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