Sinopsis

From John FanteâÇÖs biographer, ten stories of blood relations, family skeletons, random forces,and the often-violent folly of love. Set against the double-edged splendors of greater LosáAngeles, from downtown streets to studio soundstages to gated mansions, fromdesert to mountains to sea, these are stories of people striving to reckon with the Americanhands theyâÇÖve been dealt in the marked-card gamble of their lives.áA stoner son heading off to fight in a war drives his mother to see the eye doctor.A fourth-grade Catholic-school teacher, unattached, meets her match made in hell.áDesperado artist-lovers flee the scenes of their crimes.A stranger knocks at the front door...Mothers and fathers, sons and daughters, husbands, wives, and roving agents of chaos collide here with sometimes comic, often tragic but always lasting effects. In story after story something happens that matters-not least to the reader.
