From the award-winning author of "Paradise Boys" and "Scotch and
Oranges " comes "Ghost Dancer," 21 original stories that look at
American life with a reporter's eye-and dissect it with a surgeon's
scalpel.
From a young man grappling with the Kennedy assassination to a
battle-weary Vietnam flyer, a ship's officer off Tierra del Fuego
to a homesick soldier in war-torn France, we meet recovering
alcoholics, aspiring actors, pimps and pols and busted-up football
players-people who try to rebuild shattered lives on a landscape
scarred by war, littered with fatal fires and shuttered steel
mills, populated by dying sweethearts and unfaithful brides.
In the tour-de-force title story, a young Lakota travels back
in time to perform the Ghost Dance at Wounded Knee. Mendocino to
Boston, Broadway to the French Quarter, "Ghost Dancer" spans the
Twentieth Century, and the globe, showing us the choices we
make-and the consequences we face.
