NORTH OF PATAGONIA by Johnny Payne

A great read! In this masterfully woven novel, Johnny Payne brings his engaging protagonist into 3-dimensional life in a variety of settings that I found surprisingly fascinating, including the worlds of boxing and horse racing. We encounter rich diversity of characters here as well, including an ex-wife who is writing a novel as we read, using the life of the protagonist as her subject. The plot of North of Patagonia is satisfyingly complex, and the reading is easy. I couldn't put the book down.
