Ever since Lafayette Proulx quit his day job, left his wife, hauled his dog and his portable typewriter across town and moved in with his mistress, Judi Dubey, with the intention of becoming the Great American novelist, his life has been a sordid mess. He can put up with the futile and interminable marriage counselling and Judy's exotically dysfunctional white-trash family - even when they start killing each other - but the steady stream of vicious rejection slips from literary magazines is beginning to wear him down. But when Judi gets sick, Laf's life gets serious: the knockabout farce becomes a dark but redemptive tragedy.

Our reading group chose this book for March. Luckily that is a long month. For me it was a slog from start to finish--in sips or in gulps. I wouldn't have finished the book had it not been assigned. None of the protagonists was someone I would want to meet or to know any more about. The multiple silly characters were confusing and tiresome. Though the author has a good eye for details, that was not enough to make this even a fair read. The title was far and away its most engaging aspect.
