In a symphonic stream of consciousness, a fanatical child army loses faith in its commander as he ages unforgivably into his thirties. A woman possessed with wanderlust and a small inheritance seeks love among the cave-dwelling Roma in Granada. Traumatized war veterans run local rackets; smarmy bureaucrats rise through the ranks of repressive regimes; civilians attempt to escape the stranglehold of life under dictatorships. From the honeycombed caves outside the Alhambra to the streets of Havana, from hospital wards to \u003ci\u003equincea era\u003c\/i\u003e parties, these stories--along with the collection's illuminating nonfiction coda--testify to Meidav's vast imaginative range. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEdie Meidav\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of three novels--\u003ci\u003eThe Far Field, Crawl Space\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eLola, California\u003c\/i\u003e.
