Summary

"Drake deals with the complexities of human experience as lived in the times and places and events he has framed by the microscopic and telescopic lens of his stories. Drake's stories are the best kind of history, showing us who we are by virtue of where we have been and what we have done. And in spite of Drake's own protests there are lessons to be learned from these stories, about ourselves, about the human condition, diagnosis and prognosis."--BOOK JACKET.
