In the hands of Thomas McGuane, Chester’s story is a high-wire act of extravagant emotion and steel-nerved prose. As he haunts Key West, pestering family, threatening a potential in-law with a .38, and attempting to crucify himself on his ex’s door out of sheer lovesickness, Chester emerges as the pure archetype of the McGuane hero.
