Full Description:
The protagonist is Charles Croker, once a college football star, now a late-middle-aged Atlanta conglomerate king whose outsize ego has at last hit up against reality. Charlie has a 29,000-acre quail-shooting plantation, a young and demanding second wife-and a half-empty office complex with a staggering load of debt. Another man is laid off from his job at the Croker Global Foods warehouse and finds himself spiraling into the lower depths of the American legal system. And a star Georgia Tech running back is accused of date-raping the daughter of a pillar of the white establishment. Networks of illegal Asian immigrants crisscrossing the continent, daily life behind bars, shady real estate syndicates, the cast-off first wives of the corporate elite-Wolfe shows us comtemporary Americca with all the verve, wit, and insight that have made him our most admired novelist. |
