description: At twenty-six, Brian Schwan is washed up. Four years hacking away on third-rate golf courses across the South have produced a grand total of $19,000 in earnings, zero wins, and a string of spectacular tournament flameouts. His wife wants him to come home and start a family; he's just shot the worst opening round of his life; and even his father, who pushed Brian in to the game, seems to have given up. So what do you do when the dream slips away? Astonishingly accomplished and utterly captivating, Spikes is a sharply observed novel about the obscurity of our motivations, our capacity for self-delusion, and the surprising, unexpected possibilities for grace.
