En savoir plus sur le livre
Five interconnected narratives span the years from 1960 to 1999, each deeply rooted in the sixties and haunted by the Vietnam War. The first story, "Low Men in Yellow Coats," follows eleven-year-old Bobby Garfield as he uncovers predatory malice in his neighborhood, realizing that adults can be sources of terror rather than protectors. In the title story, a group of college students becomes engrossed in a card game, leading them to explore protest and confront their own darkness, where laughter masks deeper fears. "Blind Willie" and "Why We're in Vietnam" feature two men from Bobby's suburban Connecticut upbringing, grappling with the emptiness of the post-Vietnam era in a hollow America that mirrors their own struggles. The collection culminates in "Heavenly Shades of Night Are Falling," where Bobby returns to his hometown, confronting a final secret that offers hope for redemption and fulfillment. Rich in danger and suspense, this work captures the essence of an era, inviting readers to explore both new and familiar emotional landscapes.
