In this beautiful book, Ivan Brady paints worlds for us with language. Always a poet, even in his most scholarly writing, in this volume Brady merges prose and poetry into what, in an older kind of anthropological practice, might've been called "vignettes" but what he does in this book is teach us that by rendering a slice of the world through observation, poetics, and deep anthropological knowledge, he can allow us to travel with him to worlds unseen, and perhaps now unseeable. - Paige West, Claire Tow Professor of Anthropology, Barnard College and Columbia University, author of...

Out in the world, it's 1999. Ex-Marine Aaron McCaan is hired to research land claims in the Mojave. But the desert world is timeless. Cultures clash here as they always have. This time, though, a dead Indian walks out alive, and his appearance puts McCaan in the crosshairs.

Anthropological poetry and related interpretive writings on events in the American West and points south in various time periods and ethnographic settings.

2000 is a year of big changes, but in the timeless Mojave desert of the American southwest, ancient ethnic prejudices are coming to a head. A white security guard is killed, and an Indian-presumed to be dead-is the main suspect. Aaron McCaan, ex-Marine and professional researcher extraordinaire, is caught between multiple pasts and the present, putting him in mortal danger again. He's looking for a disappeared woman and the murder suspect while ducking the police and drug cartels. Too many mixups lead some to die under the ruthless desert sun.
