Frank has moved from Southern California to the western sector of Nevada where he takes up residence in a mobile home in the desert, no other structures around, and it's in this stark setting that he attempts rehab, an endeavor to get straight, but this has him revisiting alcohol, methamphetamine and cocaine. Successes and failures expand the novel's story, as do environment, employment, and a major relationship with a woman who trails a history of her own. Arid chronicles divergent attractions and priorities, while embracing realities devoid of self-pity. Like the region in which the story takes place, a sense of spare inhabits narrative style-humor dry, follies without embellishment, characters lacking renown. Striking images, midst aridity, shape the novel's structure.
