Reseña del editor:
One week in '62...all the Baby Boomers nearly went Boom! It’s the Cuban missile crisis, and Marty LaRosa is in a panic that the world will blow up before he has a chance to lose his virginity. Marty swings wildly between his high hopes for a bright future and his dread of impending doom. His optimism is manifest in his campaign for re-election as class president; his pessimism is manifest in his manic seduction of his total tease of a girlfriend, who’s reluctant to give up the virginity she hopes to carry into a post-apocalyptic new age in her family’s fallout shelter. Our story cuts back and forth between Marty’s hometown and John F. Kennedy’s war council, drawing on the official Kennedy Tapes to glimpse a president facing the ultimate test of leadership. And as the seven days of The Virgin Missile Crisis unfold, the lives of JFK and Marty LaRosa move pell-mell down parallel tracks—a man with his finger on the nuclear trigger, a boy with his finger on the trigger of teenage ecstasy.
Biografía del autor:
Dan Riley has been writing seriously ever since the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962 focused his boyish attention on his mortality. Since then, he’s edited his school, college and local underground newspapers; written obituaries for the oldest newspaper in continuous publication in the US; and produced ad copy and corporate boilerplate. His five books published with Houghton Mifflin include The Red Sox Reader and The Dan Riley School for Girl: An Adventure in Home Schooling. And his play, Spinelli, was a winner of The Long Beach Playhouse’s New Works Competition. His weekly blog, The Nobby Works, is dedicated to keeping the writing of Norman O. Brown linked to the times. He’s happy to have lived long enough to see the launch of his first novel, The Virgin Missile Crisis. http://thenobbyworks.blogspot.com/
