BONUS: This edition contains an excerpt from Paul Levine's Lassiter. Trial lawyer Jimmy “Royal” Payne was his own worst enemy—until now. Haunted by personal tragedy, wanted by the cops, Payne needs to skip town. What he doesn’t need is Tino Perez, a gutsy twelve-year-old Mexican boy in search of his missing—and undocumented—mother. But Payne’s ex-wife, an L.A.P.D. detective he still loves, makes him a deal: help the boy or go to jail. Soon Payne is following Tino into the dark side of the American dream. From bloody Mexicali to the bullet-ridden San Joaquin Valley, Payne will be swept into the dark current of illegal immigration, human trafficking, and sexual slavery—navigating the twisted border between justice and revenge.
During his lifetime E. L. Doctorow was a remarkable phenomenon among contemporary American novelists. He was a serious writer who was popular, a political writer who was a stylist, an original writer who was highly eclectic and an historical writer who invented the past. In this study, originally published in 1985, Paul Levine follows Doctorow's progress as a novelist and traces the development of certain themes that recur in his work including the relationships between history and imagination, between high and popular culture and between political content and radical style. He also examines Doctorow's notion of the writer as witness and actor and of writing as a subversive activity, two concerns which link him with important writers in Europe and Latin America. The book should provide a valuable and comprehensive coverage of his work to date, including the films of Ragtime and The Book of Daniel.
