mul·li·gan - n. A golf shot not tallied against the score granted in informal play after a poor shot especially from the tee. Nate Jorgenson winner of the 2004 Benjamin Franklin Award for Best New Voice in Fiction for his novel Waiting for White Horses tells the story of a frustrated dentists search for redemption in his second novel The Mulligan. From the outside it seems Joe Mix should be happy. Hes got a healthy family a successful practice and plenty of time for sports cars and leisurely golfing at the country club. But lately the little things have been getting to him and a new emptiness seems to be overtaking his life. Convinced hes feeling something much deeper than a textbook midlife crisis Joe Mix loads his truck with two packed duffel bags and his dog and calls the office to tell his receptionist hes not coming to workever again. In the spirit of Updikes Rabbit Run The Mulligan relates Joe Mixs journey with clarity and poignancy appealing to that part in all of us that wonders what it would be like to get a do-overto walk away from the mindless day-to-day life in which weve entrenched ourselves to seek something better.
