''Joe Coomer's eccentric fourth novel features two unlikely loners. First is thirty year old Lyman, who works the night shift as a courtesy patrolman on the highway that circles Forth Worth, Texas. Lyman's off-duty existence is no less of a loop. Hardened from a childhood as an orphan and convinced that the world is an arbitrary place, he limits his daytime routine to an unending series of such practical college courses as plumbing, aeronautics and sign language. If life makes no sense, he can at least be prepared for all its eventualities. But nothing could have prepared him for the dramatic entrance to his life of the second loner -- a ninety year old parrot.''
