<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>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 <i>The Bushwhacked Piano </i>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. <p/></p><p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br>As a citizen, Nicholas Payne is not in the least solid.
