In the 1970s, Bobby Desoto and Mary Whittaker -- passionate,
idealistic, and in love -- design a series of radical protests
against the Vietnam War. When one action goes wrong, the course of
their lives is forever changed. The two must erase their past,
forge new identities, and never see each other again.
Now it is the 1990s. Mary lives in the suburbs with her
fifteen-year-old son, who spends hours immersed in the music of his
mother's generation -- and she has no idea whether Bobby is alive
or dead.
An ambitious and powerful story about idealism, passion, and
sacrifice, "Eat the Document" shifts between the underground
movement of the 1970s and the echoes and consequences of that
movement in the1990s. It is a riveting portrait of two eras and one
of the most provocative and compelling novels of recent years.
