Brilliant, native-American protest poet, Kore, follows her
egocentric lover to Vegas where he holds blockbuster-writing
seminars in a glitzy hotel on the "Strip." The voyeuristic Carlton
improvises a lover's quarrel in his workshop, choosing Kore and
Nev, the brooding class pariah, secretly back from Vietnam, to
roleplay. When the antiwar activist, pampered by her rich, white
parents, angers the down-and-out Nev, the skit erupts in violence,
and Carlton bans the two from class. Kore heads for the mountains
with Nev where he lives in abandoned mining caves and stashes
stolen ammo to blow up the government that sent him to Nam. The
tough, in-your-face Kore and the vet, haunted by the death of a
woman he loved, face each other alone in the wilderness where their
conflicting needs explode into a nightmarish battle, and Kore must
choose between the barren, rocky road of love for the sorrowing Nev
or the easy life with Carlton in return for slavish idolatry.
A dark, gritty memoir-like novel, both a psychological thriller
and a powerful love story, told with rare honesty in riveting
prose, confronts the huge emotional cost of today's guerrilla
warfare on the young men and women thrust into its hit-and-run
horror.
