But the ensuing romance proves short-lived as Jimmy dies of an AIDS-related illness. The grieving Seamus is obliged to keep a promise to Jimmy: “Take me back the way I came.”\u003cbr\u003e     And so Seamus sets out by bicycle on a picaresque journey with the ashes, hoping to bring them back to Buffalo. He meets truck drivers, waitresses, college kids, farmers, ranchers, Marines, and other travelers—each one giving him a new perspective on his own life and on Jimmy’s death. When he meets and becomes involved with a young Native American man whose mother has recently died, Seamus’s grief and his story become universal and redemptive. \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"University of Wisconsin Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47125137916144,"sku":"9780299289737","price":10.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780299289737_p0.jpg?v=1763684530","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780299289737","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
