PANAMA by Thomas McGuane

Finished Mo 6/15/15

Semi-autobiographical novel about the author's real-life relationship with Jimmy Buffet's sister, Catherine in the book.

A real flair for language, and although the main character, Chet, is an over-the-hill rock musician, nothing is about music. He refers to his career as 'jumping out of an elephant's ass while dodging baseballs from an automatic pitcher.

Set primarily in the Florida Keys

He has a mental block that his father is dead, but in the final chapter he reappears
