North of Patagonia

A great read! In this masterfully woven novel, Johnny Payne brings his engaging protagonist into 3-dimensional life in a variety of settings I found surprisingly fascinating, including the worlds of boxing and horse racing. We encounter a rich diversity of characters here as well, including an ex-wife who is writing a novel as we read, using the life of the protagonist as her subject. The plot of NORTH OF PATAGONIA is satisfyingly complex, and the reading is easy. I couldn't put this book down!
