Overview
Finalist, Bellwether Prize for Socially Engaged Fiction Fiery young Gus Bessemer vows to stop the war in Vietnam. His weapon of choice? Guerrilla street theater. But when a shotgun-wielding riot squad loads up with live ammo, Gus' defiant art attack screeches to a halt. Nursing rage and confusion, Gus heads for the Colorado Rockies to get his head together, only to discover that--even surrounded by rugged mountain beauty--there's no escaping the war at home . . . or himself. ---------------------------------- "A Bowl Full of Nails reminds us that the '60s weren't just about flowers and stoned hippies. With a dynamic plot that keeps you on the edge of your seat, this rough-edged tale bursts with humor, rebellion, tragedy, betrayal, and espionage. -- Mary Mackey, author of Season of Shadows "In A Bowl Full of Nails, Degelman builds a marvelous suspense that lures the reader on a trip into the past, to a power place where big things happened. I could taste the '60s gestalt in the back of my throat." -- Destiny Kinal, Founder, Reinhabitory Institute, author of Burning Silk
