"Nothing like these stories exists in American Fiction"
- - Paul Carroll, editor Big Table
These eleven tales - three short novels and eight short stories -- combine stark but heroic tragedy with an almost Rabelasian bawdry and wicked good humor. "Writing that is tough, intelligent, and decidedly germane." - Hayden Carruth, The Chicago Daily News "Such gems as would make a fight with the smut vigilantes worthwhile." - Library Journal

No One Was Killed
In Chicago in August 1968, the Democratic Party staged its Convention to nominate a candidate for President and a series of confrontations erupted with historic impact upon American political life. "A more valuable factual record of events than the city’s white paper, the Walker Report [Rights in Conflict] and Theodore B. White’s Making of a President combined." - Christopher Chandler, Book Week "Of all the book-length accounts I read of 1960’s political and cultural confrontations, none (not even Mailer’s Armies of the Night) is more lucid in its understanding of the torments and tropisms of the movements of the streets…" -Todd Gitlin, author of The Sixties
