Gifted author's critically revered, brilliant, disturbing third novel. "Wylie Jones had it all. The perfect wife. The two kids. The comfortable home in the suburbs. His American dream. Then, one late-summer night, in the midst of a backyard barbecue with friends, he steps out the front door of his house into another life. Stealing a neighbor's car, a battered Ford Galaxie 500, Wylie embarks on a terrifying odyssey across the heart of media-haunted America. Out on the road, he easily assumes the identity of Tom Hanna, a friend he has left behind in Chicago, and it is in this borrowed guise and "hot" emerald green car that Wylie will become known to those he meets on his heady joyride to the California coast. By journey's end, Wylie Jones (if that ever was his real name) has found a new identity (Will Johnson), a new wife, and a new home, but certainly no peace. It soon becomes evident that the final act of this story will be played out on the evening news to the baffled chorus of family and friends: "He was such a quiet guy.the sweetest man imaginable.Who would have ever suspected?

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. 1st. Going Native is Stephen Wright?s darkly comic take on the road novel, in which one man?s headlong escape from the American Dream becomes everybody?s worst nightmare. Wylie Jones is set: lovely wife, beautiful kids, barbecues in the backyard of his tastefully decorated suburban Chicago house with good friends. Set, but not satisfied. So one night he just walks out, gets behind the wheel of a neighbor?s emerald-green Galaxy 500, and drives off into some other life, his name changed, his personality malleable. In Wright?s inimitable narrative, we?re taken on a joy ride to hell, a rollercoaster of sex and violence and the peculiar mix of the two that is our society today. Author Stephen Wright transports readers from the claustrophobia of the suburbs to the freedom of the open road and the pursuit of the American dream--or nightmare--in this remarkable novel that reveals the darkest side of our civilized society. A chilling and often brilliant novel.--The New York Times.
