Grant Ginder's second novel, a sensitively observed story about storytelling ("The New Yorker"), takes readers on a twenty-first century road trip that "should appeal to fans of Junot Diaz and Michael Chabon" ("Booklist").
FINN McPHEE EDITS A REALITY TV SHOW. His father, Colin, is a screenwriter. Both are adept at spinning fictions, a skill passed down to them by McPhee patriarch Alistair, whose wild yarns never failed to capture Finn s youthful imagination even as they cast a fragile veil over a past marked by devastating loss, unbearable love, and an incessant longing for a life whose heroic proportions could measure up to the breathtakingly vivid color of Alistair s dreams. As Finn embarks on a road trip across America with his best friend, Randal, and a three-legged cat named Mrs. Dalloway in a last-chance bid to make his grandfather s dreams come true, he will finally learn that the truth, though not always stranger than fiction, can sometimes make the best story of all."
