As a boyfriend, he is nothing short of disastrous, and his latest flame, the patrician Ann Fitzgerald, has done a wise thing by dropping him. But Ann isn't counting on Nicholas's wild persistence, or on the slapstick lyricism of Thomas McGuane--highlights include a ride on a homicidal bronco and an apprenticeship to the inventor of the world's first highrise for bats. The result is a tour de force of American Dubious.","brand":"World of Books ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67600399368465,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9780394726427.jpg?v=1790737450","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/books-the-bushwhacked-piano-by-thomas-mcguane","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
