"A richly colorful novel"--New York Times In the words of the New Hampshire statute, "now comes Theodora" to file for divorce from Colin, who'd rather march for world peace than stay home with his pregnant wife. She and the baby take refuge with Boris, photographer of nudes, who in all innocence finds himself in love for the first time in his life. Daniel Ford's debut novel is a fascinating cameo of university life in the 1960s--before Woodstock, before Vietnam, but not before student rebels. "It is impossible not to keep on watching them, simply because they are so human and so young and selfish and opinionated and anxious ... The clear-sighted, unangry Mr. Ford will undoubtedly write another novel, which means we all have something to look forward to."--The New Yorker

Dan Ford was the first member of his family to go to college, working his way and winning the occasional scholarship. Next came four years in Europe as a student, vagabond, soldier, and newspaperman, then a hard patch while he struggled to establish himself as a writer. These were, he recalls, America's golden years, from triumph in one war to humiliation in another, 1945-1975. Now, in his 90th year, he has chronicled a life that could have happened only in America

One of America's most famous combat forces, the Tigers were recruited to defend beleaguered China for $600 a month and a bounty of $500 for each Japanese plane they shot down--fantastic money in an era when a Manhattan hotel room cost three dollars a night.This May 2023 revision has never-before-published information about Chennault's early years.
