After years of reporting on border violence, sex crimes, and the devastation of the land, Bowden struggles to make sense of the many ways in which we destroy ourselves and whether there is any way to survive. Here he confronts a murderer facing execution, sex offenders of the most heinous crimes, a suicidal artist, a prisoner obsessed with painting portraits of presidents, and other people and places that constitute our worst impulses and our worst truths. Painful, heartbreaking, and forewarning, Bowden at once tears us apart and yearns for us to find ourselves back together again.National characteristics, AmericanMesquiteFolkloreCannibalismFolkloreAuthors, AmericanBiographyUnited StatesDescription and travelUnited StatesSocial conditions1980-2020United StatesMoral conditionsNational characteristics, American.MesquiteCannibalismAuthors, American973.92Bowden Charles1945-2014,1632670MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910814592203321Blues for cannibals3971987UNINA
