Description
Cliff is on his third life - formerly a high school English teacher who left his job to take over his wife's cherry farm, he is now sixty, divorced, cuckolded and possibly homeless. He sets out on a journey across America to rediscover himself. Wry, wise and reflective, this novel is about starting over again in midlife. "THE ENGLISH MAJOR is to midlife crisis what THE CATCHER IN THE RYE is to adolescence" (LA Times).
