Synopsis
Ostensibly the pastoral story of a man with a dream of living in the country, innocently, perfectly, and purely— Tommy's Farm takes the reader on a gentle, funny and deeply ironic journey into the heart of the meaning of desire. This is a book that pulls you in and along, as misunderstanding and misadventure slow Tommy and his battered pick-up truck while he drives our hero north, away from his city bookstore and the comfortable world he has known, into that dangerous zone of being given exactly what you wished for. This is a hilarious, serious book that is destined to become a cult classic.
