註釋

This final volume of the acclaimed Driftless Trilogy opens with a dead man floating face down in a municipal swimming pool, a bullet in his head. His hat and his narrative are still in place. The victim is a failed writer named Rick Harsh. Newspaperman Spleen arrives, determined to solve the murder. Over the course of a day, he encounters a Borgesian world of bizarre characters and strange events. First hes attacked by a mad dog. Then hes psychoanalyzed by a bored mayor, and later, by an insightful transvestite. As Spleen stumbles toward the truth of a crime far darker than a single murder, he is haunted by the victims commentary on society, memory, literature, and life and death. Previous volumes in the triology include The Driftless Zone and Billy Verite, winner of the James Michener/Copernicus award. Praise for Billy Verite: At once violent and thoughtful, serious and wry, Harschs . . . prose delights, even exhilarates. San Francisco Chronicle
