The story of a heroic young man in pursuit of a spoiled rich girl, a career, and a manageable portion of the American Dream.
Synopsis
The Bushwacked Piano makes me think of all foremarks by those of an attenuated tandem bicycle, out of control, the wrong way on a one-way street, against the mainstream of oncoming traffic; no hands, and no brakes! Thomas McGuane can only be imitated. There is no one else around close enough for comparison.
Yargley
The work of a writer of the first magnitude. His sheer writing skill is nothing short of amazing. The preternatural force, grace, and self-control recall Faulkner...McGuane is a virtuoso. -- The New York Times Book Review
