As a boyfriend, he is nothing short of disastrous, and his latest flame, the patrician Ann Fitzgerald, has done a wise thing by dropping him. But Ann isn't counting on Nicholas's wild persistence, or on the slapstick lyricism of Thomas McGuane--highlights include a ride on a homicidal bronco and an apprenticeship to the inventor of the world's first highrise for bats.
