Under the rainbow

the long version

"Donald's friend Jerry dropped dead of a heart attack while parasailing on a honeymoon with wife number five. His friend Wright is dying of prostate cancer. His son Travis repeatedly attempts to commit suicide, his mistress is a control freak, and his married life isn't so hot now either. Out of this bleak material the author has molded a goofy, sly, poking novel that could be one of the funniest books of the year". -- Library Journal.
