It's 1968, and Aiken Day's life is in chaos.
Living in Windsor, Ontario, he suffers bleak visions and nightmares--flashbacks to the killing, the slaughter of the Essex Scottish Regiment on the shale beaches of Dieppe. His wife, the elegant former professor Paris Day, has run off with a civil rights group whose members have traded peaceful protests for violent bank heists, and their son Adam, a young black man in a white, white world, seems ready to follow in her footsteps.
While Aiken sets off to discover the truth behind an FBI story about his wife, Bobby Kennedy and his team criss-cross the US on his run for the Democratic nomination for the presidency, campaigning to end racial discrimination and the Vietnam war.
A sprawling, Pynchonesque novel that spans Canada and the US, Pushing Bobby's Cadillac explores the hope and anguish spawned by the year 1968.
