Description

Plagued by his anxieties and ambitions, historian John Tolley pursues recently discovered documents in the hopes of writing a career-making biography but is inadvertently drawn by a host of colorful locals into a clandestine scheme to launch the Tennessee state lottery. In his second hilarious novel, the author of the highly acclaimed "Approximately Heaven" tells the wry and ribald story of an academician's ambitious quest for glory in rural Tennessee.
