Publisher Description
Barton Dawes’ unremarkable but comfortable existence suddenly takes a turn for the worst. A new highway extension is being built right over the laundry plant where he works—and right over his home. Dawes isn’t the sort of man who will take an insult of this magnitude lying down. His steadfast determination to fight the inevitable course of progress drives his wife and friends away while he tries to face down the uncaring bureaucracy that has destroyed his life.
Now with an introduction by Stephen King on “The Importance of Being Bachman.”

“With its James M. Cain[-esque] attention to occupational detail during mental derailment, this is [a] restrained, thoughtful, nicely observed novel.”
