Description
What if a small New Mexico ranch came under siege by nudist balloonists? What if a pretty, pint-sized fireball of a ranch daughter, Teddy Gibbs, took on these “new recreationistas”—what does that portend for the nation’s heartland where family ranches are disappearing faster than soft money in an election year? And what if Teddy was accompanied in her quest by a band of freethinkers bound together by a mutual abiding reverence for the entertainment value of anarchy? There are cowboys Song and Dance, the silver-tongued Northern Cheyenne, Roland Talks in Many Places and, through revealing historical research, a Billy the Kid as proponent of “the examined life.” Award-winning author Bruce Hoppe answers these questions and more in Don’t Let All The Pretty Days Get By, a novel of seriocomic originality and a tour de force of American theater of the tongue-in-cheek. Don’t Let All The Pretty Days Get By explores the landscape that is the New West--a place of changing land use patterns, behind-the-scenes chicanery at Indian gaming casinos and political hi jinks that pass for governance in state legislatures.
