About this title

Synopsis

When Max Trader, a quiet, responsible guitar maker and Johnny Devlin, a lady-killing, drunken, unemployed loser, inexplicably awaken in each other's bodies, Max must venture into the streets of Newford where he must confront Devlin and his own deepest fears. Reprint.

Review

When a mischievous spirit grants loser Johnny Devlin's wish for someone else's life, luthier Max Trader wakes up in Johnny's body, surrounded by the emotionally vacant shambles Johnny has left behind, bankrupt and farther down in the world than he has ever imagined being. Jarred from his complacent, self-contained path, Max has only his inner resources for both emotional and financial support. He wants his life back, but, as he struggles for it, he realizes that he will no longer be satisfied with things as they were. Fans of de Lint's previous work will enjoy this gently didactic story set in the fictional town of Newford's thirtysomethingish community of arty waifs and folk musicians.
