Description: Although several of these articles have been published in magazines, most people are unaware that novelist Denis Johnson is a first-rate and fearless reporter. The thrilling pieces collected here sweep the reader from the Liberian Civil War, to a meeting of paramilitary units near Ruby Ridge, to a revival meeting of Christian Evangelicals, to the North Carolina Mountains in search of an anti-abortionist bomber. They introduce a unique cast of characters and take readers to places most journalists never venture. In all, Seek presents an exploration of America that is distinctive and brilliantly crafted -- and a view of life in more remote sections of our planet that is completely original and stunning in its revelations.
