Bushnell, Agnes (inscribed by author), — Local Deities - A novel.

NY, Curbstone Press, (1990). VG PB. Based on the lives of two couples who were involved in protests during the 1960s -Erika and Simon, progressive people working. within the system and members of a radical group tried and convicted on conspiracy charges Contains the excitement of activists in the 60's Rare to read a radical American novel which grapples so gracefully with moral ambiguity and contradictions. One finds a unniverse complete into its own terms in which political, intellectual, emotional, public and private life are interwoven that one breathes a sigh of relief for what Bushness has accomplished in her faithful rendering of what has too often escaped into mythologizing and sensationalism. Inscribed by author "Feb 1990 For Jack, In hope for a much better world! Best regards, Agnes Bushell".
