"Conqueroo is a fictionalized diary about Lohn's perspective on a dispute over the ownership of a painting symbolically important to the Austin's 1960s counterculture. After testifying in the civil trial, Lohn leaves town with Joe and drives to the coast of Maine where he helps paint an old house. Lohn returns to Texas and continues to fret about his flawed friendships but comes to no conclusion. This novel is an existential vision of a type of sub-proletariat worldview, racism, sexism, dishonest relationships and alcoholism"--P. [4] of cover.
