From a widely admired author, a poignant novel about
homecoming, friendship, growing up, and growing old for fans
of Richard Ford and Richard Russo In this finely wrought portrait of western American life,
Ron Carlson takes us to the small town of Oakpine, Wyoming,
and into the lives of four men trying to make peace with who
they are in the world. In high school, these men were in a band. One of them,
Jimmy, left Oakpine for New York City after the tragic death
of his brother. A successful novelist, he has returned
thirty years later, in 1999—because he is dying.
With Carlson’s characteristic grace, we learn what has
become of these friends and the different directions of
their lives. Craig and Frank never left; Mason, a top lawyer
in Denver, is back in town to fix up and sell his parents’
house. Now that they are reunited, getting the band back
together might be the most important thing they can do. Return to Oakpine is a generous, tender look at friendship,
family, and the roads not taken, by a writer at the peak of
his craft.
