Report on the Second Half of the Twentieth Century is Ken Norris' attempt to make a major statement about life in these times. The vantage point is that of the individual life: his own. Collected and juxtaposed, hopefully books in the series will present a panoramic view and investigation of our moment in history. Books 1-4 is the first of the series that ended with Books 16-22 in 2004.
The Wasteland was only a beginning:// Now even the third generation sores/ Are beginning to fester./ At the four corners people stand/ Wailing for their supper.
