“(Mrs. Burns couldn’t stand “raw meat” the way they ate it in the East, and at fancy restaurants unless you told them different, and then they got snotty about it).”

“Going All the Way is about what hell it is to be oversexed in Indianapolis, and why so many oversexed people run away from there. It is also about the narrowness and dimness of many lives out that way. And I guarantee you this: Wakefield himself, having written this book, can never go home again. From now on, he will have to watch the 500-mile Speedway race on television.”
― Dan Wakefield, Going All the Way: A Novel
