Self-absorbed Barnaby Griswold has to lose it all--money, homes, and family--before he gets a shot at becoming the unlikely hero of his own life. Griswold is indisputably a fool. A well-educated, well-connected investments player on the one hand, but an entitled money-driven cretin on the other. His life changes almost overnight when he's found to have acted slimily (but not illegally) by selling a stock short. His wife deserts him, his daughters disown him, and he loses his final and favorite home. At forty-six, disgraced and broke and lonely, Barnaby must repair his life to find redemption. Out of print for more than a decade, Frederick G. Dillen's comic novel about an unlikely hero is now being reissued as part of librarian and NPR commentator Nancy Pearl's Book Lust Rediscoveries series.

Thirty-four-year-old Harry Crane works as an analyst for the US Forest Service. When his wife dies suddenly, Harry, despairing, retreats north to lose himself in the remote woods of the Endless Mountains of Pennsylvania.
