Synopsis

CROSSING THE FRONTIER is a collection of terse, poignant, tough-minded, witty and irreverent short prose.From the nightmare that was 9/11 to the war in Iraq; through victims of Katrina and the sweeping effects of new immigration laws, Dickerson moves backward and forward in time to look at where America, and Americans are at the dawn of the 21st century.From New York to Los Angeles, he takes on first-hand all the issues: homelessness, war, love and relationships, natural disaster, global warming, the media, social unrest, while also pausing to examine the heart and soul of those seeking to re-define their place in contemporary America- including the author himself. Chris Dickerson is an award-winning journalist, and has been a foreign correspondent, editor, and columnist for a variety of daily newspapers and magazines, screenwriter, theatre and film director. As a playwright, he is the author of the definitive play on Lincoln’s assassin, John Wilkes Booth, “To Bury Caesar”. He currently lives in Los Angeles.
