Abstract
The quest for home is an admirable one with seemingly universal appeal. That a New York City playwright would chronicle his experiences reconnecting with his Nebraska roots is something that, normally, we might applaud. Before buying this book, however, ask yourself if you care to read a comparatively privileged writer wax poetic as he parallels what amounts to be a modern existential crisis with the forced removal, military arrest, and government exploitation of a nineteenth-century Ponca father.
