The Music Box Treaty
From the Back Cover One part Walter Mitty, one part Lord Jim, one part Bartleby, and three parts us. Marion Monaghan dreams of being an existential hero out of the Hemingway novels he used to teach before retreating into a railroad shack on the edge of Lodgepole, a town "right in the bellybutton of the country" and a former hunting ground of "The Band That Don't Eat Dog." Caught between feeling "the stuff that touchdowns are made of and the urge toward utter surrender, he joins the Lodgepole Volunteer Fire Department & Rescue Squad to escape defeat by what Randy Newman calls "the chuckholes down memory lane." With a poet's eye, a stand-up's wit, and a gifted storyteller's power to keep us engaged, Duggin narrates Marion's struggles to make a treaty between the opposing sides of himself in a novel as enchanting as the protagonist's magical music box. -- William Trowbridge author of Ship of Foo
