Summer Games - Jon Woodson - Bog

Bag om Summer Games

It is 1932 and America is circling the drain. An army of desperate veterans has surrounded the Capitol, strikes dot the map, and breadlines are a common sight. To lighten the national mood the 10th Olympic Summer Games beckon from sunny, dazzling, otherworldly Los Angeles. Four young black sophisticates from Washington, D.C. decide to make the road trip despite the violent racial climate. A vivid assortment of characters, a beautiful racketeer, a moral philosopher, a ruthless mastermind, an ambitious religious leader, and a government agent cross paths with the little band of reckless adventurers as they try to reconcile their personal ambitions with the hypocrisy and failure of modern life. Summer Games is a darkly comic novel of suspense, literary ambition, geopolitical intrigue, and self-realization.
