Drury is a truly great writer.”-Esquire "A beguiling novel . . . perceptive and captivating.”-The New York Times "Startling and utterly original.”-Newsday In this mesmerizing novel, Tom Drury once again journeys to the quiet Midwest to spend an action-packed October weekend in the lives of a precarious family whose members all want something without knowing how to get it: for Charles, an heirloom shotgun, for his wife, Joan, the imaginative life she once knew, for their young son, Micah, a knowledge of the scope and reliability of his world, aided by prowling the empty town at night, and for Joan's daughter, Lyris, a stable foot from which to begin to grow up. Sometimes together, sometimes crucially apart, father, mother, son, and daughter move through a series of vivid encounters that demonstrate how even the most provisional family can endure in its own particular way.
