Horse Latitudes
And talk about woman trouble: There's Pandora, the beautiful magician's assistant who dumped him for an investment banker and the dream of becoming a performance artist; Beth, his true love, the girl he let slip through his fingers at the beach (maybe it was all that baby oil), and the mysterious blond nymph who hurls empty beer bottles at him from a black Z28 Camaro.
If it wasn't for the occasional visit from the ghost of his father, Chester would almost certainly be losing his grip on reality, and never navigate his way out of the . . . Horse Latitudes.
"In the Sargasso Sea there is no wind. Many, many years ago, when ships travel by sail, they would sometimes get stuck here. For weeks and weeks they would sometimes drift, waiting for the wind to come.

In fact most of Chester's life has become stuck, he feels he is always waiting for something... Once a
'The human heart was a peculiar piece of work: it never truly let go." Love that.It seems like you go a lot of places and touch a lot of emotions and laugh out loud quite a bit in one short book and that's pretty cool.
my Boyfriend got me this Book , I Loved it !!! Sexy , Funny , very pleasent read
A brilliant novel about a struggling writer trying to live idealistically in the shadows of the American Dream. Chester Sprockett, an anti-hero of the magnitude of Dostoevsky's Underground Man, tries his hand at love, writing, and sales. The narrative bounces back and forth between past and present, showing Chester's loss of innocence with rich humor laced with deep emotion. My favorite scenes include a football game with famous dead authors and zombies and the chapter "Four 20s and a 10."If you
Don't take my word for it. Read it yourself.
Best book ever!!!
