The Grand Tour
A bitingly funny, smart and moving road novel about two hapless lost souls—an alcoholic Vietnam veteran turned bestselling author, and his awkward, shy college student superfan—who form an unlikely connection on the world's most disastrous book tour.
Richard Lazar is advancing in years but regressing in life. After a career as a literary novelist that has ground to a halt and landed him in a trailer in Phoenix, Richard is surprised to find sudden success publishing a gritty memoir about his service in Vietnam. Sent on a book tour by his publishing house, Richard encounters his biggest (and really only) fan: an awkward, despondent student named Vance with issues of his own (an absentee father, a depressive mother, his own acute shyness). Soon Vance has volunteered to chauffeur Richard for the rest of the book tour, and the two embark on a disastrous but often hilarious cross-country trip. When things go wrong, Richard and Vance forge an unlikely bond between two misanthropes whose mutual insecurities and disdain for the world force both to look at each other, and their lives, in a more meaningful way.
As they reach the end of the book tour, The Grand Tour ultimately becomes a moving tale of unlikely friendship that should catapult Adam O'Fallon Price into the company of such masters of All-American dyspepsia as Sam Lipsyte, David Gates and Walter Kirn.

Richard Lazar was once a writer with promise. His first novel garnered some acclaim but his subsequent work never quite connected with the public, and quickly disappeared. After two failed marriages and a disastrous relationship with his daughter, Richard finds himself fat, old, and drunk, and living in a trailer in the middle of Arizona.
"The nice part about being young wasn't really being young; it was not being old."
It's as much a surprise to him that his memoir of his time as a soldier in Vietnam has received some of the best reviews of his career. People are suddenly paying attention to him for the first time in his life, and more than that, they want to hear him read. His publisher sends him out on a book tour, although given his penchant for indulging in more than a healthy dose of "liquid courage" before a reading or interview, often with less-than-stellar results.
At a college in Washington, Richard meets Vance Allerby, the awkward young president of the Richard Lazar fan club. (There's currently only one member, but that could change at any time.) Vance's admiration of Richard borders on hero worship, and he is hoping Richard will read the novel Vance has been writing and give him advice, possibly open a few doors for him, so he can stop living with his troubled mother, working a dead-end job, and wondering if he will ever amount to anything. But his meeting Richard, and Richard's behavior during and after his scheduled reading, not to mention the advice he gives Vance, couldn't be further than what Vance had hoped.
To make it up to him, Richard invites Vance to drive him to the rest of the West Coast stops on his book tour. Vance jumps at the chance to spend more time with someone he admires, but he has no idea what he's in for. He doesn't realize that driving Richard means caring for, practically babysitting, Richard, and watching his self-destructive behavior continue declining. Richard never seems to learn his lesson, despite the toll this self-abuse is taking on his health, his relationships, and his literary reputation. But it's possible, too, that Richard isn't the only one in need of rescue.
"In a general sense, Vance felt he'd spent his whole life around adults who acted like children, who needed constant tending to and worrying over, and a glance at the passenger seat didn't help to dispel the feeling that he might easily take on the same role with Richard."
The Grand Tour is an interesting look at two men who couldn't be more different and yet who are strangely the same in many ways. This is a book about coping with lifelong disappointment no matter how long your life has been, and how even when you know what path you need to take to change things, you're often unable or even unwilling to follow it. It's also a book about the relationship between parent and child, both biological and surrogate, and how easy it is to let down those who care about us the most.
Adam O'Fallon Price does a good job in creating these characters who are definitely more than meets the eye, although that doesn't mean they're particularly sympathetic. The book takes a while to build up steam, and in some places reminded me of many other literary or cinematic road trips. After a while, though, the book really becomes a bit of a downer, because the characters never seem to make headway, and you wonder just how much worse Price can make their situations.
While somewhat predictable, Price does throw in a surprise or two. He's a talented writer, and despite their faults, he keeps you interested in his characters, even if you're not sure whether it's an empathetic interest or a can't-look-away-from-the-trainwreck kind of interest.

Put simply, this is a tedious story due to the characters who can't get out of their own way. Richard's a Vietnam war veteran/author who finds sudden fame with a memoir. As with most rising stars, the publisher sends him on a book tour unaware of his 'issues'. A drunk with a dim view on life, what follows is both predictable and repetitious due to the identical scenario at each stop. At the first stop Richard encounters Vance, a young aspiring author who soon becomes his volunteer driver. Worse yet, Vance struggles with life as much or more than Richard.
When a story's plot is predictable, we can only hope for good characters that will offset the weakness. Richard is not only predictable and depressing, he lacks depth, wit or anything resembling humanity. Vance is equally as lame, since his despair is equal or greater to Richard's.
The story lacks theme, the unexpected or elements we embrace with good stories. I had hoped for humor due to summaries and reviews, but none was to be found nor any semblance. Rather than belabor the obvious, I decided against finishing it for obvious reasons.

I wasn't going to review this one at all, but rather than delete it from my GR list, here's a few words ...
Good try for a first novel, but in a word: uneven. I understand that the ending was meant to be hopeful (positive), but I found it rather sad. Story worked best when the guys were together on the trip, their individual scenes later, not so much for me. Disclaimed that I skipped over the italicized story-within-a-story.
Would consider the author's next book.

Summary:
Richard Lazar is advancing in years but regressing in life. After a career as a literary novelist that has ground to a halt and landed him in a trailer in Phoenix, Richard is surprised to find sudden success publishing a gritty memoir about his service in Vietnam. Sent on a book tour by his publishing house, Richard encounters his biggest (and really only) fan: an awkward, despondent student named Vance with issues of his own (an absentee father, a depressive mother, his own acute shyness). Soon Vance has volunteered to chauffeur Richard for the rest of the book tour, and the two embark on a disastrous but often hilarious cross-country trip. When things go wrong, Richard and Vance forge an unlikely bond between two misanthropes whose mutual insecurities and disdain for the world force both to look at each other, and their lives, in a more meaningful way.
My take: 5 looks
A beautifully written story of the short crossing-of-paths between an old, curmudgeonly writer with his first taste of fame, and a young writer-in-waiting, still sure that the written word holds for him the promise of a future.
Richard is completely unlikable. He lies, drinks, sneaks, and wears his lifetime of regret like a garment. However, he is very likeable. One of his most introspective moments gave me this great quote:
Of course, it was he who was the pile of shit. He felt, in fact, that he was made of shit. Bullshit, dogshit, horseshit, ratshit, chickenshit. His mental and physical state constituted a sort of Pouisse-Café of shit - an elaborate stratification of shit that comingled to crate a shitty whole that was much shittier than the sum of its shitty parts. Immediate, automatic remorse was the greasy top layer of shit, which bubbled on top of the churning shit of his hangover, which was generously layered on top of the firmer soil bed of his bad health and drinking and desire for alcohol, which itself sat on top of untold, fossilized geological strata of guilt and fear, decades - a lifetime - of shit. Chapter 5
This gives the reader great insight into Richard. He knows how he is. He knows why he is this way. But, at this point, he feels that he is probably too far gone for any significant change. He is honest about who he is, and he offers this honesty to all those around him, giving them the benefit of his experience.
Then there is Vance. Vance is instantly likable as the neophyte fan who volunteers to pick up Richard from the airport, as Richard begins his first ever book tour. Vance manages to finagle his way into a more substantial spot on Richard's book tour; and, you guessed it, we begin The Grand Tour.
The characters and the writing of this book meld into a wonderful journey. You almost wince at places, and want to turn your eyes to avoid what you know is coming next. But rather than being predictable, it is more of a well-worn path that you choose to walk with these two.
A colorful menagerie of complimenting characters add a nice spice to this main dish, and serves to move the story and characters along on their journey.

Wow, this was, hopefully, the biggest disaster ever of a book tour. Alcoholic, Richard Lazar, is going out on a book tour. Yes, that's the first recipe item for this disaster. Then on his first stop, his one (and only) fan, Vance, wants to come along and be his driver. Richard's on top of the world as he realizes that he can now drink on the whole tour, second ingredient. Along the way, they pick up his depressed, drugged out daughter that he abandoned, third ingredient.
What happens on this tour was fun, entertaining and thoroughly depressing. There is also excerpts from "the book" that he is on tour promoting. "His memoir" has a big secret at the end and it's all downhill from there.
While, I don't know why, I wasn't expecting this much of a depressing story, it was well written and definitely kept me interested. There were a few pages I skipped that dealt with background and scenery. For the most part, however, I enjoyed it. The depressing part was these characters dealing with their really messed up lives. This is certainly no happily ever after, but I would recommend it if your into truism and human emotions.

Meet Richard Lazar. Richard is a twice divorced, Vietnam veteran, alcoholic, washed up writer who's last book was published over 20 years ago. Richard's living in a dump of a trailer in the heat of the Arizona desert when he receives a phone call from his agent he hasn't heard from in so long he almost didn't recognize. Stan had great news, a publisher picked an out of print book of Richard's to republish. The book was a memoir of his time served in Vietnam. Book sales are so great the publisher wants him to go on a book tour, stopping city to city reading excerpts from the book, signing autographs and such. Along with the book tour is the big payday Richard's long been overdue for. He is met at the airport by Vance to chauffeur him to his first few stops. Vance a 19 year old with ambitions on becoming an author himself and was Richard's sole fan club prior to the republishing of the book. Vance is ecstatic at the opportunity. Vance gets to stay on with Richard for the remaining tour stops across the country. Some twist and turns throughout the book. I enjoyed it but have read better. 3 1/2 stars.

Not sure how to rate this book. The writing is amazing. I could see it all; however, that wasn't always pleasant for me. The three main characters are not likable and it was hard for me to read about all the alcohol consumption that occurs. I will definitely check out Price's next book since he is so good.

Hostage?
So this is what it feels like to be captured and taken hostage, in a good way. The book seemed quiet, and slower paced before it captured you and kept you hostage till the end. Awesome book.

The only redeeming part of this book is the last two pages. It simply was not worth my time.

Despite the depressing characters and painful plot twists, I left this book with a greater appreciation for everything. The Grand Tour makes me want to "give a shit" about life.

I Understand Why the Main Character's Wives Dumped Him
I very much enjoyed individual sentences, and sometimes whole paragraphs, of this book, but never bought into the characters, the plot, or the point. And that's O.K..
Richard is a burned out alcoholic misanthrope who gets a reprieve when his failed Vietnam novel is resurrected and published as a consequence of the interest in combat memoirs that was generated by the Iraq war. (This is a deeply jaded and gleefully edgy burn on publishing and the public's fickle appetites, and the kind of knife twist that pops up throughout the book). Because Richard is the kind of character who is a loud and proud self-made jerk, the plot demands that Richard fall in with the shy college admirer who is assigned to drive him to an author appearance, and who decides to stay on for the balance of Richard's book tour. The cross-country road trip commences. It's a misanthropic Harold and Maude, or maybe Harry & Tonto, but with many more tedious hangovers.
The good part is that if you put all of that aside, (or take it to heart if you are so inclined), great stretches of this book are extremely funny. Some of the humor is broad, some is surgical, some is obvious and aimed at easy targets, but some is fresh and arresting. Everyone is awarded a very generous supply of one-liners, and the book is peppered with dry and deadpan throwaway lines.
That said, the book doesn't aim for "feel good", which is a plus, but it also begins to wear down as it goes, which I guess should be expected. I admired the author's craft and wit, and command of world-weary funny/sour monologues, and was happy to have had a chance to enjoy both.
(Please note that I received a free ecopy of this book without a review requirement, or any influence regarding review content should I choose to post a review. Apart from that I have no connection at all to either the author or the publisher of this book.)

It was a struggle to get to page 136 even with skimming the last 20 or so to GET to 136. The story seemed to have promise in the beginning but it lost momentum. I just finished a book with a drunken, bitter character and she was likable af. Robert not so much.
The author likes to stick uncommon words here & about as if he just got a "Word of the Day" calendar & there are many (too many?) similes. Anyhow, with so many enjoyable books out there yet to read I just could not finish this one.
The only line that made me feel something: And nine in the morning is exactly when you're supposed to drink Bloody Marys.

I feel let down by the book’s blurb. It didn’t come close to benchmarking the unlikeable main character (Richard), an alcoholic disaster of little compassion or regard for anyone, not even himself. The only character I could identify with and remotely like is Vance, the kid that went with Richard on the tour. He at least possessed a degree of normalcy. I didn’t buy into the bizarre stories in some of the scenes. They were just too weird to wrap my mind around for a real person. The writing was exemplary, a masterful use of metaphors and similes, clever and provocative. That part of the book I did enjoy. As for the storyline, it could use some work.
January 10, 2020
If you are looking for an all sunshine and rainbows type of novel you probably won't like this book. If you are looking for a story about flawed characters that is very well written then you will probably enjoy it. I personally liked the Vietnam story within the story and how the author included these segments with a different style of writing technique. I look forward to reading his next book.
May 6, 2021
The writing was clever and the characters were memorable, but in a mostly unlikeable way. I say mostly because the main character, an author, is portrayed with an over-the-top personality, always with a pithy quip. When you get tired of the alcohol-driven quips, the author chose to expose a character’s weakness and learning and striving to better, or at least explain himself. I liked how the author handled these transitions. Overall, an OK story.
January 18, 2021
Damn , having read both Price’s novels I can say he really has a rare talent for writing deeply flawed and sometimes repulsive characters who still evoke feelings of tenderness from the reader .
Also, I am totally impressed that he wrote two great books about wildly different people, cultures, and settings .

The blurb on this is quite misleading. I was expecting it to be funny and there are some funny moments but most of it is actually quite depressing. I don't mind depressing stories but I had false expectations because of the blurb. But still, it was not a bad read and the characters were interesting.
August 12, 2018
They say never to write about writers (or scientists) because nobody wants to read about that - but this was freaking hilarious. My only gripe would be I'm sick of reading about New York City, but that's more on me than the author.
November 1, 2016
A first novel that tries a little too hard ("empurpled"?!). Some good comedic character development at the beginning later wanes because of a taxed plot.
October 16, 2017
Beautiful prose. Very well painted pictures, just a VERY depressing read. And I am usually TOTALLY ok with depressing reads.
May 30, 2018
Good debut, will look for next book.
October 1, 2019
Well, that's a few hours I can't get back.....
February 16, 2020
I liked it, it had a sense of realness, that these things could all very much happen. This book makes you identify with the characters and have sympathy for them all.
March 3, 2020
Started off very slow but, in the end, a worthwhile read.
April 6, 2020
A wonderful read
A wonderful novel full of twists and turns with great characters that keeps one reading to find out what happens to all of them.

Maybe if I hadn't just finished a novel by Richard Russo? Characters felt a bit flat and I I'm not sure what I was hoping for at the end, but that definitely was not it.
January 7, 2021
Good, unique story and I didn't see the twist at the end coming, which is most unusual and refreshing.
March 19, 2022
Good read. It got sad and I wanted to put it down but it ended well.
August 3, 2022
This was a good light read. Overall, I enjoyed it.
