Nothing But Blue Skies -- Thomas McGuane, Paperback

A ruefully funny novel of embattled manhood, set in Big Sky Country--by the highly acclaimed author of Ninety-two in the Shade and Cloudbursts, with writing "so dazzlingly acute and seemingly effortless that it infuses Nothing but Blue Skies with exuberance and wit."--Chicago Tribune

This high-spirited and fiercely lyrical novel chronicles the fall and rise of Frank Copenhaver, a man so unhinged by his wife's departure that he finds himself ruining his business, falling in love with the wrong women, and wandering the lawns of his neighborhood, desperate for the merest glimpse of normalcy. The result is a Montana where cowboys slug it out with speculators, a cattleman's best friend may be his insurance broker, and love and fishing are the only consolations that last.

"Vibrant with the pleasures of ironic language, play and chase, and quick with broken-hearted humor."--Los Angeles Times Book Review
