Product info

<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>At the beginning of this high-spirited novel of the American West, a seven-year-old boy on an Apache Indian reservation in Arizona has his head run over by a mail truck. But this is no tragedy, for not only does Edgar survive the accident--he maintains his innate goodness and his belief in the redeeming power of language. The result is a miracle of storytelling, bursting with heartache and hilarity.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Half Apache and mostly orphaned, Edgar Presley Mint's trials begin on an Arizona reservation at the age of seven, when the mailman's jeep accidentally runs over his head. As he is shunted from the hospital to a school for delinquents to a Mormon foster family, comedy, pain, and trouble accompany Edgar through a string of larger-than-life experiences. Through it all, readers will root for this irresistible innocent who never truly loses heart and whose quest for the mailman leads him to an unexpected home.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>[Edgar's] soul is as spotless as John Wayne's .45, and so is Udall's sharp and rangy prose. His similes sting, his sentences go bang, and his chapters roll like the wagon wheels across the harsh Mormon desert of right and wrong.-- "GQ"<br><br>A marvelous first novel...An adept mix of humor and pathos.-- "Los Angeles Times"<br><br>Extraordinary...There are pages that are just fall-down funny...It's like nothing else you've ever read.-- "Newsweek"<br><br>Profound and stirring...brilliantly executed.-- "Wall Street Journal"<br><br>Rambling and generous...it reads at times like a John Irving novel touched up by Roy Blount Jr....Sweet, sad, and refreshing.-- "New York Times Book Review"<br><br>Vibrant, big-hearted...A poignant, picaresque odyssey.-- "Chicago Tribune"<br>
