Descripción
Babyboomer contradictions have their story told here in a parody and postmodern style, in the microcosm, generally, of Berleley California. And this is a crime novel. Red Bautsky majors in anthropology and goes into the CIA. Rake Beuerbach, a criminologist, becomes a legal semiotic prosecutor in the city of Berkeley. His lifelong partner, Natasha Rimsky, is the heroine here, the girl with the gold earring. Enrico Pelican, a graduate of Cal’s masters in journalism school, is the narrator.
