Book description
So Far Gone: A Novel - A Joyful, Wild Ride Through America
Jess Walter's So Far Gone feels like a bright, sun-lit road trip that takes you from the quiet solitude of a cabin in the woods to the chaotic heart of modern America. The book is as warm and funny as it is deeply human, turning a simple premise-a reclusive journalist who must rescue his kidnapped grandchildren-into a sprawling adventure that's at once absurdly entertaining and profoundly moving.
From the very first page, Walter shows why he's been called "a genius of the modern American moment." He paints Rhys Kinnick as an everyman: a man who has deliberately turned off his phone, abandoned the internet, and lived in isolation with only raccoons for company. Yet when family ties pull him back into a world that's changed while he was gone, Walter turns this quiet life into a kaleidoscope of characters-a caustic ex-girlfriend, a bipolar retired detective, and an old friend who's both furious and indispensable.
The narrative is full of the playful energy you'd expect from a homage to Charles Portis' True Grit, with a dash of Tom Robbins' whimsy and a touch of Elinor Lipman's tenderness. Each chapter feels like a new stop on a cross-country tour, where cultural quirks and societal fractures are as vivid as the characters themselves. The humor never feels cheap; it is rooted in the absurdity of the situations and the genuine warmth that binds everyone together.
What makes So Far Gone truly stand out is its emotional core. Walter manages to keep the stakes high-kidnapped grandchildren, a dangerous militia-but balances this with moments of quiet reflection about family, belonging, and the idea of "home." The road trip becomes a metaphor for rediscovery: Rhys must navigate not only physical terrain but also his own past decisions.
Ann Patchett calls it "a warm, funny, loving novel," and that description rings true. Even when the plot takes a turn into danger or introspection, the tone remains approachable and engaging. Readers will find themselves laughing at the quirks of each side character while rooting for Rhys's unlikely quest to reunite his family.
In sum, So Far Gone is a rollicking, razor-sharp adventure that captures the fractured yet hopeful spirit of contemporary America. Jess Walter delivers a story that is as entertaining as it is touching-an invitation to step onto the road with an old friend and discover that sometimes the best journeys begin when you're forced back into the world you thought you'd left behind.
