Citizen Vince
Jess Walter, who steps back in history for his third novel, brings back an "utterly inventive" tale of crime and politics (Washington Post). Walter, whose previous books includeLand of the Blindand a non-fiction account of the Ruby Ridge massacre,Every Knee Shall Bow, seems to have found his stride as a novelist. Critics praise the author’s ability to straddle—or shatter—the conceits of the mystery novel, while offering a sincere, at times hilarious, rumination on the challenges of citizenship and the price of freedom. Except for theSeattle Times’s vote against the stream of consciousness chapters that delve into Reagan and Carter’s minds, the pundits all agree:Citizen Vinceis the real deal.Copyright © 2004 Phillips & Nelson Media, Inc.--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
