Gone Indian

"Overcome by his curious academic and sexual inadequacies, professional graduate student Jeremy Sadness lights out from his cramped office at a New York state university for the wilds of the Canadian northwest. He inadvertently exchanges suitcases - and identities - with Roger Dorck, the comatose victim of a snowmobiling accident, and becomes hopelessly embroiled in the comic Bacchanalia of the Notikeewin winter festival, during which he is arrested and compelled to judge a beauty contest in which all the contestants look exactly alike. This satire of the "quest novel" is one of the most hilarious works in Canadian literature."--Back cover
