Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

From the bestselling author of The People We Hate at the Wedding, Grant Ginder's second novel, "a sensitively observed story about storytelling" (The New Yorker), takes readers on a 21st century road trip that will "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.
