I like what Harry Crews has to say about this notorious (even before it was published) novel: “I love the two old men at the center of this book, one an Indian medicine man. Here at the tag end of their lives, they are out to make some memories, instead of living in the ones from the past. And what memories they make! Theirs is a revolt against death, funny, frantic, and altogether human. They take it to the max: smoke a little dope, drink a lot of whiskey, steal a few cars, and see what the young girls will give up. May we all have such moments, now and at the hour of our death.” A wild and crazy road trip with a couple unlikely protagonists. #15001
