Description

Ralph Moody's 1918 novel follows a young man as he strikes out into new territory, seeking a more healthful climate to manage his diabetes. With an improvident buddy named Lonnie, he travels through the Southwest in a Ford called Shiftless, facing challenges such as finding fresh milk and leafy green vegetables. As they camp out in an Arizona canyon, the young men turn to sculpting plaster of paris busts of lawyers and bankers, a venture that brings them both financial gain and creative expression. This is the latest chapter in Moody's continuing saga, one that will appeal to new readers as well as those familiar with his earlier work. In this entry, Moody explores themes of survival, friendship, and self-reliance, set against the backdrop of post-war America.
