A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture

A small southern town gives birth to a dangerous man with a broken heart and a high-powered rifle ... A young girl, caught up in an inner-city gang war, crosses the line from victim to avenger ... An innocent man is hunted by government agents for an unspecified crime...A boy and girl fall in love while ransacking a rich man's house during the waning days of the Vietnam War ... A compromised psychiatrist confronts the unstable patient he slept with ... A father and son wage a lethal battle of wits over the whereabouts of a stolen diamond and a missing woman.

In turn suspenseful, surreal, romantic, and tragically comic, these tales journey headlong into the heart of our myths - about class, gender, freedom, and

regeneration through violence - and reveal that the truth waiting for us there is not what we'd expect.

This collection includes the acclaimed play 'Coronado'.
