Praise for this book

"Vibrant with the pleasures of ironic language, play and chase, and quick with broken-hearted humor... I've never been so moved to admire [McGuane's] work as in this story." --Los Angeles Times Book Review

"Nothing but Blue Skies is nothing but enjoyable." --San Francisco Chronicle

"McGuane's prose is so dazzlingly acute and seemingly effortless that it infuses Nothing but Blue Skies with exuberance and wit." --Chicago Tribune
