- A charming, moving road trip tale for fans of The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fryand The Hundred Year Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared Nancy Skidmore has Alzheimer’s and her oldest friend Eugene Chaney III once more a purpose in life: to end hers. When the moment for Gene to take Nancy to her desired death in Coffeeville arrives, she is unexpectedly admitted to the secure unit of a nursing home and he has to call upon his two remaining friends to help break her out: one his godson, a disgraced weatherman in the throes of a midlife crisis, and the other an ex-army marksman officially dead for 40 years. On a tour bus once stolen from Paul McCartney, and joined by a young orphan boy searching for lost family, the band of misfits career toward Mississippi through a landscape of war, euthanasia, communism, religion, and racism, and along the way discover the true meaning of love, family, andâ€"most important of allâ€"friendship. Charming, uplifting, and profoundly moving, Last Bus to Coffeeville is a funny story about sad things.
- J Paul Henderson spent four years in Mississippi, leaving with a doctorate in 20thC US History and more knowledge of Darlington Hoopes than was arguably necessary. (Hoopes was a Pennsylvanian socialist and the last presidential candidate of the American Socialist Party).
