Pur essendo ormai anziano, il pittore Louis Cuchas, quando qualcuno gli chiede qual è l’immagine che ha di sé stesso, risponde, senza esitazione alcuna, che lui si vede sempre come un ragazzino.

Als leichte, unterhaltende Satire gedacht, erscheint uns, der Leserschaft von heute, die die Folgen des Holocaust immer mit sich trägt, die darin beschriebene Geschichte alles andere als lustig. Zu dem feierlich vorausgesagten Triumph der Freude und Vernunft, wo "alle vertriebenen Juden heil und glücklich wieder zu Hause sind und alles wird wieder gut", war es in richtigem Leben nie gekommen.

August 2, 1991, Twentynine Palms, California: a troubled Marine who has recently returned from the Gulf War savagely murders two young girls. One was about to turn 16, the other 21. Exquisitely and inexorably, Deanne Stillman uses this tragedy as a prism through which she examines a rootless culture of fatherless families, shattered dreams, and relentless violence. She also traces the family histories of each murder victim back for generations, in one case to the Donner Party and the other to a shack in the Philippines.

Rick Greenberg joined the Corps right out of high school because he always wanted to be a Marine. Little did he know what it would ultimately cost him to even approach earning such a title. After boot camp, "Greeny", as he was later known by his Recon team buddies, attended radio communication school in San Diego, California. As a radio operator, upon arrival in Vietnam, Greenberg was both surprised and troubled when he was arbitrarily assigned to the First Recon Battalion, generally considered to be an elite unit.

È l’invito che un'impiegata della casa di riposo rivolge ai residenti per raccontare la loro vita. A quasi cento anni, Mook Miran pensava che avrebbe portato i suoi segreti nella tomba, invece quell'estranea le sta offrendo l'occasione per fare finalmente pace col proprio passato. Tre parole, però, non le bastano, e ne sceglie sette: schiava, artista della fuga, assassina, terrorista, spia, amante.
