Goodreads (Print) Dodge City Book Giveaway: Enter to win a free print copy of Patrick deWitt’s sixth novel, Dodge City. Set in 1967 Los Angeles, the story follows Lee Clarke, a twenty‑three‑year‑old UCLA student who receives a draft notice for the Vietnam War. After a fistfight leads to his expulsion and loss of deferment, Lee must decide whether to stay in California with his girlfriend or head east. He joins a drive‑away car‑delivery service, hops into a showroom‑new Jaguar, and travels across the country with only a suitcase and a bag of amphetamines, reflecting on his past and future. Along the way, he visits four northern towns to see his father, a World War II veteran; his mother, caught in a manic performance with her shut‑in sibling; his heartbroken brother Harry; and his twin sister Grace, a nurse‑in‑training tangled in romance at a Manhattan psychiatric hospital. Dodge City offers a witty, moving, and off‑kilter portrait of a nation in flux and a family in disarray, earning praise as a “twenty‑first‑century Mark Twain” by Slate. Enter now for your chance to win this compelling, award‑winning novel. Goodreads.
