An insightful study of the reactions of a Nebraska lad to the Big City in 1976. Encountering many of the varied denizens of the city, from the bohemian crowd in Greenwich Village to the Vietnam vets homeless on the streets, Nick Haugen distills the essence of city life as seen through the eyes of a farmland innocent. Humorous, thought-provoking and thoroughly timely, this is a story for all the country to read and reflect on.
