Product Description
Max Trader is a solitary, quiet, responsible guitar maker. Johnny Devlin is a lady-killer, a drunk, and a chronically unemployed, but charming, loser. When they inexplicably awake in each others' bodies, Devlin gleefully moves into Trader's comfortable and stable existence, leaving Trader penniless, friendless, and homeless, with no place left to go but beyond the streets of Newford to an otherworld of dreams and spirits--where he must confront both the unscrupulous Devlin and his own deepest fears.
Amazon.com Review
When a mischievous spirit grants loser Johnny Devlin's wish for someone else's life, luthier Max Trader wakes up in Johnny's body, surrounded by the emotionally vacant shambles Johnny has left behind, bankrupt and farther down in the world than he has ever imagined being. Jarred from his complacent, self-contained path, Max has only his inner resources for both emotional and financial support. He wants his life back, but, as he struggles for it, he realizes that he will no longer be satisfied with things as they were. Fans of de Lint's previous work will enjoy this gently didactic story set in the fictional town of Newford's thirtysomethingish community of arty waifs and folk musicians.
