“No one compares to Jim Harrison when it comes to capturing the unique voices and attitudes of the Midwest in fiction. When 60-year-old Cliff's wife leaves him for another man and sells their farm, his life suddenly opens up in new directions, both exhilarating and terrifying. The English Major is charming from start to finish!”
-- Carol Schneck, Schuler Books & Music, Okemos, MI


Description
Harrison's sixty-something protagonist--divorced and robbed of his farm by a late-blooming real-estate shark of an ex-wife--embarks on a road trip across America, in this story that is the map of a man's journey into, and out of, himself.
