In a childhood nearly as rugged as Edgar Mint's, young Berl (named after Irving Berlin) is dragged willy-nilly from his family's intrastate rug-shampooing venture to Pentacostal services, and then to his aunt's bed (not a good place for any boy to be). If he comes of age late in life, it's no wonder, given these beginningsand if it hadn't been for a local physician who befriended him, Berl might never have come of age at all. But, by the grace of the medicine he practices, the Montana landscape he inhabits, and the community he belongs to (sort of), Berl manages to pick his way through the mined landscape of his own past and that of his kin. McGuane seduces the reader with hilarity, and then sneaks illumination past our unguarded hearts. Even better, Driving on the Rim is a damn good read.
