From the rear cover
As a citizen, Nicholas Payne is not in the least solid. As a boyfriend, he is nothing short of disastrous, and his latest flame, the patrician Ann Fitzgerald, has done a whose thing by dropping him. But Ann isn't counting on Nicholas's would persistence, or on the slapstick lyricism of Thomas McGuane, who in The Bushwhacked Piano sends his hero form Michigan to Montana on a demented mission of courtship whose highlights include a ride on a homicidal bronco and apprenticeship to the inventor of the world's first highrise for bats. The result is a tour de force of American dubious.
From the jacket flap
A heroic young man is in pursuit of a spoiled rich girl, a career, and a manageable portion of the American Dream.
