He doesn't remember what she can't forget.... Out of all the lakes bush pilot Jesse Bohen could have crash landed on, why did it have to be recluse Erich Sloan's? Their encounter four months ago was like a scene out of one of his best-selling thrillers. But Sloan's hostile behavior ever since has Jesse wishing his delirious words that night had been a work of fiction so she could close the book on them, too.

As a citizen, Nicholas Payne is not in the least solid. As a boyfriend, he is nothing short of disastrous, and his latest flame, the patrician Ann Fitzgerald, has done a wise thing by dropping him. But Ann isn't counting on Nicholas's wild persistence, or on the slapstick lyricism of Thomas McGuane, who in The Bushwhacked Piano sends his hero from Michigan to Montana on a demented mission of courtship, whose highlights include a ride on a homicidal bronco and apprenticeship to the inventor of the world's first highrise for bats. The result is a tour de force of American Dubious.
