A Bowl Full Of Nails

Finalist, Bellwether Prize for Socially Engaged Fiction Fiery young Gus Bessemer vows to stop the war in Vietnam. His weapon of choice? Guerrilla street theater. But when a shotgun-wielding riot squad loads up with live ammo, Gus' defiant art attack screeches to a halt. Nursing rage and confusion, Gus heads for the Colorado Rockies to get his head together, only to discover that--even surrounded by rugged mountain beauty--there's no escaping the war at home . . . or himself. ---------------------------------- "A Bowl Full of Nails reminds us that the '60s weren't just about flowers and stoned hippies. With a dynamic plot that keeps you on the edge of your seat, this rough-edged tale bursts with humor, rebellion, tragedy, betrayal, and espionage. -- Mary Mackey, author of Season of Shadows "In A Bowl Full of Nails, Degelman builds a marvelous suspense that lures the reader on a trip into the past, to a power place where big things happened. I could taste the '60s gestalt in the back of my throat." -- Destiny Kinal, Founder, Reinhabitory Institute, author of Burning Silk
