Summaries and Reviews
Amazon.com description: Product Description:
Lem Purchase is in California when a call comes in the dead of night: his younger, disturbed brother in Nebraska announces his plans to carry out an act of terrorism targeting the state capitol building in Lincoln. This isnât the first time Lem has had to make a frantic check on Jackson. Nor is it the first time that author Robert Vivian has taken us to the haunted world of the Great Plains. Critics called Vivianâs first two books in the Tall Grass Trilogy âlyrical and harrowingâ (Sven Birkerts on The Mover of Bones) and âbrilliantly writtenâ (Publishers Weekly on Lamb Bright Saviors). In this third and final volume in the trilogy, Vivian weaves the voices of Lem, Jackson, and Lemâs estranged wife, Lissa, into an American triptych of longing, remembrance, and innocenceâof hopes almost fulfilled and inevitably disappointedâas we race to Jacksonâs reckoning with history that must have its day.
While Jackson hatches yet another plan that rivals the first in madness and ultimately threatens Lemâs life, Lemâs reflections reveal what, and how much, that life has meant. In Jacksonâs determination we encounter another view of what matters, as he clings to his apocalyptic notion of the only way in which the country can be reclaimed from its present madness.
