Author: Charles Bowden
Narrator: Gary Roelofs
In this ground-shaking, breath-taking cri de coeur, Bowden delves with love-driven fury for the roots of our brutal history in this once-brave New World. The figures he casts before us – from Pancho Villa to a modern-day drug lord, from General Sherman to a skid-row Sioux named Robert Sundance – trace a story not so much of rapaciousness as of fear and loathing. Bowden twines it with the natural history of the hammer orchid, a carnivore whose deceptive delicacy comes to stand for the terror and hypocrisy that have perverted our love of the land, its peoples, and our very natures.
