A bitter, reclusive old man is forced to leave his solitary existence
in the woods of rural Washington to save his grandkids from an
extremist Christian militia. That doesn’t sound like the setup for a
hilarious book, but “So Far Gone,” the new novel from bestselling
author Jess Walter, manages to blend a lot of laughs into a very
timely narrative. The story centers on Rhys Kinnick, a retired
environmental journalist who has lived off the grid for years since he
punched his conspiracy theorist son-in-law in the face and ruined
Thanksgiving. Kinnick’s madcap journey to save his family features a
road trip through a well-realized depiction of modern America, an
eccentric cast of characters, and a delightful (though quite hungry)
pack of raccoons. The book is filled with witty humor and clever
banter that is punctuated by sudden eruptions of shocking violence. It
is a propulsive page-turner that strikes a good balance between
exhilarating set pieces and thought-provoking themes. I would
recommend it to anyone who likes a dose of politics with their
entertainment.
