Inhaltsangabe

In Johnny One-Eye, Jerome Charyn has created a picaresque tour-de-force centered on the one-eyed spy John Stocking, who must fight to survive in a wartime Manhattan. As Johnny grapples with his allegiances and his love for the gorgeous, green-eyed Clara, we follow the circuitous path of the Revolution, from the torching of Manhattan in 1776 to the decisive battle Yorktown and Washington's heartrending departure from Manhattan in the autumn of 1783. Hailed as "the first great Revolutionary War novel to appear in many decades" [Tom Bissell}, Johnny One-Eye marks the rediscovery of one of America's greatest living writers.
