Summary

A wonderfully original and vivid portrait captures the soul of the Southwest and demonstrates why Tom Miller is among America's wittiest and most graceful writers. This extraordinary book leads readers deep inside the uniqueness of the region and reflects on the mounting tension between its eroding physical splendor and the diverse inhabitants who crisscross its bleached deserts, cracked pavement--and 18-hole golf courses.
