Morning Crazy Horse

 

Twenty intersecting tales of estranged love, poltical oppression and the human comedy.  In "Mourning Crasy Horse," the Sioux chief's betrayal and final passion and counterpointed with a contemporary American's journey across the United Stated.  "Underbelly (1)" details the bizarre goings on of a yogi who falls in with a pornographer and his band of outcasts.  "Moctezuma's Dreamer" investigates the relationship between enforced deprivation and art, whereas "The Artificial Son" is concerned with the deprivation which promotes kinship, union.  "Swede" is the first of several narratives in which Rosen the humpbacked dwarf practices social commitment on the unwary.
