Thomas McGuanes lebhaftes und leidenschaftliches neues Roman erzählt von dem Fall und Aufstieg von Frank Copenhaver, einem Mann, der durch die Abreise seiner Frau so aus der Fassung geraten ist, dass er sein Geschäft ruiniert, sich in die falschen Frauen verliebt und durch die Gärten seiner Nachbarschaft wandert, verzweifelt auf der Suche nach dem geringsten Hauch von Normalität. Das Ergebnis ist ein bitterkomischer Roman über angefochtene Männlichkeit, der in dem Land spielt, das McGuane zu seinem eigenen gemacht hat: einem Montana, in dem Cowboys mit Spekulanten kämpfen, der beste Freund eines Viehzüchters sein Versicherungsvertreter sein kann und Liebe sowie Angeln die einzigen Trostspender sind, die Bestand haben.
