About this product
Product Information
Los Angeles, 1953. Lionel Walk is a young black caddy at Brookline, the oldest, most exclusive country club in the city, where he is known by the nickname "Train." A troubled, keenly intelligent kid with no particular interest in his own prodigious talent for the game, he keeps his head down and his mouth shut as he navigates his way between the careless hostility of his "totes" and the explosive brutality of the other caddies. Miller Packard, a sergeant with the San Diego police department, first appears on the boy's horizon as a distracted gambler, bored with ordinary risks. Train names him the "Mile-Away Man" as they walk off the first tee, and even months later, when they have become partners of a sort and are winning high-stakes matches against golf hustlers all over the country, the Mile-Away Man is a puzzle to Train, remote and intimate, impulsive and thoughtful, often all at the same time. Packard is also a puzzle to Norah Still, the beautiful lone survivor of a terrifying yacht hijacking, who is both aroused and repulsed by his violent and detached manner at the crime scene. Packard himself feels no such ambiguity. He is unequivocally drawn to Norah and perhaps to what has happened to her and an odd, volatile triangle takes shape, Packard pulling the other two relentlessly into deeper water, away from what is safe. With his trademark economy of style, Dexter brings these characters to life in their most reckless, vulnerable moments, stripping away words and manners until all that is left is the basic human pulse.

Reviews
Praise for Pete Dexter "What deepens and darkens [Dexter's] writing, so that art is the precise word to describe it, is a powerful understanding that character rules, that we live with our weaknesses and die of our strengths." -John Skow,Time "One of the greatest American writers… a storyteller who cuts straight to the nerve." -Scott L. Turow "Dexter is a writer who cuts to the bone." -People "Dexter is a master of colloquial poetry, of moods revealed through gestures and settings." -Playboy "Dexter's strongest suit is his exquisite understanding of the finely meshed engines of greed, appetite, and interest…." -New York Times Book Review, Praise for Pete Dexter "What deepens and darkens [Dexter's] writing, so that art is the precise word to describe it, is a powerful understanding that character rules, that we live with our weaknesses and die of our strengths." -John Skow, Time "One of the greatest American writers… a storyteller who cuts straight to the nerve." -Scott L.

I was so excited getting this package at my doorstep this morning- shipping was quick, and I was greatly surprised to receive 3 books in one blind date order! This was definitely organized and packaged by a passionate booklover- as these old books were in outstanding condition, and gave me a wide range of reading within the preferred genre I provided. 10/10 will definitely buy from this seller again! :)

Item was in good condition as described and shipped quickly. Packaging could have been better, only a mailer envelope with no padding, which was a bit disappointing. Other than that, a nice and smooth transaction.
