"The video is grainy and the human figures in the centre of a dark stage have grown fuzzy blue-white edges. They seem incandescent, white hot filaments. They are singing, some dozen of them: boys and girls in white shirts and black slacks. Their song claws its way roughly out of the speakers—a windy roar, like a seashell held up to an ear..."

SYNOPSIS A shot tore Paula's life apart.

Lynn Hoffman's wacky, darkly exciting tale is provocative and controversial, written with wit, eroticism and eloquence. He confronts the issue of gun violence with humor, appealing characters and a uniquely engaging style.

Lynn Hoffman, Ph.D. "I cook therefore I... eat. No, maybe that's thereby I eat. Anyway, I love food and wine: I like to write about them too, (my most recent book is called The New Short Course in Wine, Prentice Hall) but mostly I like sharing them. My other passions are art, literature, sailing and muscle-draining exercise. I have a kid in college who may be one of the sharpest people I know. I have been truly loved by two fabulous dogs and at least one cat." Email–Exchange Recipes–Learn More About Lynn Hoffman...
