Synopsis

What if John Steinbeck made a left instead of a right at Monterey, and wound up studying Kabbalah instead of marine biology with Doc Ricketts? Or Woody Guthrie wound up in a sweat lodge instead of a hobo camp, when he was riding rails out West? What if Lon Chaney, in Hollywood’s silent film era, wandered onto the Cowboy-and-Indians set next door, and saw a wolfman who was really both wolf...and man? Or at least, coyote? Any of these wrong turns might have resulted in the tale you hold in your hands right now. It’s the story of two legendary shape-shifters and boundary-busters -- Elijah, of Jewish folk tale and Passover wine fame, and Coyote, of Native American and tail-on-fire renown -- crossing paths in Depression-Era California. There are strikes brewing, baseball teams forming, outlaws still unrectified and scofflaws newly minted. And moons to be howled at and danced under. Dancing the Two Trickster Tango. And they’d love for you to join.

A propos du livre

À propos de l?auteur

Mark London Williams is an author, playwright, and journalist who, like the characters in this book, often roams up and down his native California. He’s written the LA Times bestselling Danger Boy time travel series for young adults, and as a columnist, has covered Hollywood and its discontents for Variety, the Los Angeles Times, Below the Line, and many other publications, often while tuxed up on Oscar night. His plays have been produced in San Francisco, Los Angeles, and London, and he’s written comic books, short stories, and video game scripts. He also teaches workshops on trickster figures and the history of storytelling for the Walt Disney Company, as well as Jewish history, Torah and Midrash, for young learners on the march, at a couple of local synagogues. He keeps a watchful, hopeful eye out for both Coyote and Elijah, even when it’s not Passover.
