      "Gripping . . . Abbott writes evocatively of every phase in his memorable protagonist's odyssey . . . a convincing, insightful and eminently readable tale." —Publishers Weekly

      A portrait of Fred Fay follows an outwardly successful but selfish man's descent into alcoholism and failure and his slow, difficult recovery into a wholly new and meaningful life.

      "Rich in character and language, this is one of those rare novels the reader hates to see come to an end." —Library Journal

      "An often penetrating portrait of a troubled individual's desperate search for and avoidance of human intimacy." —Booklist

      "Absorbing." —Kirkus Reviews
