From the National Book Award-winning author of Arctic Dreams," a
highly charged, stunningly original work of fiction-a passionate
response to the changes shaping our country today. In nine
fictional testimonies, men and women who have resisted the
mainstream and who are now suddenly "parties of interest" to the
government tell their stories.
A young woman in Buenos Aires watches bitterly as her family
dissolves in betrayal and illness, but chooses to seek a new
understanding of compassion rather than revenge. A carpenter
traveling in India changes his life when he explodes in an act of
violence out of proportion to its cause. The beginning of the end
of a man's lifelong search for coherence is sparked by a Montana
grizzly. A man blinded in the war in Vietnam wrestles with the
implications of his actions as a soldier-and with innocence, both
lost and regained.
Punctuated with haunting images by acclaimed artist Alan Magee,
Resistance is powerful fiction with enormous significance for our
times.
