Description
Declining celebrity Chet Pomeroy attempts to win back Catherine, the girl whom he married (or perhaps did not marry) in Panama several years before. His quest for Catherine takes him to Key West, Florida, a centre of commercialism and corruption where nightmares stalk his waking hours, in McGuane's "most surreal and nakedly autobiographical work to date." - The Paris Review.
