Winner of the Pulitzer Prize. Description on back: Miles Roby has been slinging burgers at the Empire grill for 20 years, a job that cost him his college education and much of his self-respect. What keeps him there? It could be his bright, sensitive daughter, Tick, who needs all his help surviving the local high school. Or maybe its's Janie, Mile's soon to be ex wife, who's taken up with a noxiously vain health-club proprietor. Or perhaps it's the imperious Francine Whiting, who owns everything in town and seems to believe that everything includes Miles himself.
