The Nirvana Blues by John Treadwell Nichols

The seventies are over. All across America, the overgrown kids of the middle class are getting their acts together and getting older. The once-tight Chicano community of Chamisaville is long gone, and the Anglo powerbrokers control almost everything. Joe Minver -- faithful husband, loving father, and all-around good guy -- is about to sink roots. There's only one hitch: money. To buy the land he works, he embarks on a coke scam that will net him the necessary bread. Joe is also about to embark on a series of erotic adventures with three headstrong women, bringing him face-to-face with the terrors (and absurdity) of the modern man-woman scene. This final volume in the New Mexico trilogy is, like its predecessors, a lusty, visionary novel that blends comedy and tragedy, reality and fantasy, tenderness and bite to illuminate some very troubling truths about America -- truths no less pointed and accurate today than they were twenty years ago.
