Hilarious satire of economic boosterism on the plains.

My favorite book by Dan Cushman, author of such great stuff as Stay Away, Joe (an all-time Montana classic transformed into a forgettable Elvis film), Plenty of Room and Air, The Long Riders. Almost Swiftian in its depiction of small-town boosterism, economic development schemes, the role of the press and Big Business, and other themes which ring as true today as they do in the era (the ag Depession of the 1920s) as they do today. If you've read and loved Cushman before, you'll be pleased. Although not as widely known as Stay Away, Joe, this is Cushman as his best. And it doesn't get much better than that.
