Another chance: The idea is that you can be a new you with one turn of a card, a Strip weekend, or just a fresh address in the neon. Reinvention is one of the core mythologies of this place. The stories, essays, and poetry in A Change Is Gonna Come explore this rich concept in ways large and small. In one poem, cranes tower above the changing cityscape in a tableau of civic vigor; in another, Frank Lloyd Wright contemplates pancakes in a casino diner; a third offers a cop's-eye view of the city's dark side. Among the nonfiction, you'll meet a singer who continually readapts in the face of catastrophic health challenges, a writer who sheds his old life, and a public figure considered an icon of reinvention is revealed not to have changed at all. On the fiction front, a husband finds himself baffled, angry, and terrified by his wife's new diet; a woman copes with her husband's strange new self; and a suburban resident wages a war of words with her HOA.
