Allen Frost's first novel written in the mid-1980s while still in college is an apocalyptic, Old Testament travel through 1960s America in a Cadillac with a stained-glass windshield. You will go deep into this country's violent shadows to get to the other side. The moon, Vietnam, reservations and segregations, myths, murder, money, guns and Russians, hot dogs and holocaust, saints and dreamers, a haunted road where war is ever real but Amelia Earhart is flying overhead. This is a heck of a book to start a writing career
