Mythville`s Jaimie O: Stretch

Glasnost Lost, a new book by Douglas McDaniel, excavates the memory of the botched presidential election of 2000, and sends the experiential author into an act of personal rebellion ... ending up, as all four books of the Mythville Series, into the land of dreams, dread, memory and regret. A visceral lesson in "the science of descent."
