Textul de pe ultima copertă

'This book, of course, is about more than a single Kansas town because the tiny, shifting community of Thurman becomes, in Hickey's interpretation, an epitome of settlements across the American West...Above all, for me, this is a book about sharing about the perils of excessive individualism. In extinct Thurman we have a disturbing and relevant paradigm.'William Least Heat-Moon
