ITEM OVERVIEW
Before John Sayles was an Oscar-nominated screenwriter, he was a National Book Award-nominated writer of fiction. Here's his first, celebrated, short-story collection available once again. Infused with humor and compassion, diverse in scene and character, each narrative captures the idioms and matter-of-fact strength of the homeless, restless, and eternally hopeful. These American originals range from a kid on the road heading west; a lonely woman temping in Boston; bums on the beach; speed-addled truckers gabbing over the CB radio; and the anarchists of the title, septuagenarian political diehards who find strength for a noble last stand.
