Seven tales of crisscrossing and intertwining lives in Louisiana during the civil rights era.

In the wake of the assassination, a disabled man broods over his failing marriage, a school teacher prepares for a party, a lawyer relives the loss of his wife, a black woman mourns President Kennedy's death. During Freedom Summer, a family leaves Louisiana and its spirit pursues them. An Afterword honors Proust's belief that an artist's work should create its own Posterity.…mehr
