About the Book
These separate novellas, with a few minor characters appearing in all three, are set in the life of their times (1948, 1953, 1969) involved in a national meat-packing strike, a Korean War POW’s mysterious homecoming, and the student takeover of a university. The trilogy lays out the problems of criminal abortion, criminal impersonation, and social and personal separation, and it poses a trio of love dimensions—physical, spiritual, and intellectual. Note the cinematic form.
