FINALIST FOR THE 2001 THURBER PRIZE FOR AMERICAN HUMOR A "ROCKY MOUNTAIN NEWS" (DENVER) BEST BOOK OF THE YEAR
Millions of people dream of abandoning the city routine for a simple country life. Jim Mullen was not one of them. He loved his Manhattan existence: parties, openings, movie screenings. He could walk to hundreds of restaurants, waste entire afternoons at the Film Forum, people-watch from his window. Then, one day, calamity.
His wife quits smoking and buys a weekend house in the Catskill Mountains of upstate New York -- in a tiny town diametrically opposed to Manhattan in every way. Slowly, however, the man who once boasted, "Life is just a cab away," begins to warm to the place -- manure and compost and strangers who wave and all -- and to embrace the kind of life that once gave him the shakes.

It Takes a Village Idiot
Too easy. Although it touches on the the us/them, cityfolk/flatlanders vs. farmer's/upstate dwellers dichotomy, it was a lil heavy on the snark and lacking in rich detail. Paints a pretty watercolor of the simple life, but I guess I should have expected less from a entertainment weekly author.
