Seller's Description:
New York. 1984. Atheneum. 1st Edition. Very Good in Dustjacket. 0689114338. 288 pages. hardcover. Jacket design by Paul Bacon. keywords: Literature America. FROM THE PUBLISHER-An American living in Rome unwittingly entangles himself in the plans of ruthless terrorists in this spellbinding novel by the best-selling author of Short Circuit. For David Rayborne, an American working for a shabby English language newspaper in Rome, it begins as an expedient lark: anxious to continue living in a city that represents for him what Paris did for expatriates of the twenties, he wangles an advance from an American publisher for an inside account of the Red Brigades. Confident that no one can uncover his hoax, he invents his own version of the Red Brigades, their clandestine cell and secret plans to kidnap a prominent Italian politician. No one, not even the woman he loves, knows about his project, until a glamorous photojournalist arrives in Rome, determined to document what the press is calling the Year of the Gun. Suddenly, David's manuscript becomes an all-too-sought-after property; and when it turns out that his imagination has conjured up a frightening reality, he faces the loss of all he loves—a woman, a city, a life he had painstakingly created out of an earlier disaster. Set against the beautifully evoked backdrop of Rome, Year of the Gun is a novel of unremitting suspense that takes place on the precarious line that divides fact from fiction. As much a novel of ideas as of action, it brings to mind the work of Graham Greene, who has frequently praised Mewshaw's fiction. Mewshaw delivers a first-class thriller, strong in both plot and character. All the characters are believable. Mewshaw's craft shows in the building of suspense and in the subtle change of the tone— from David's naive American infatuation with romantic Rome to his stark terror and flight. -Library Journal. inventory #5625.
