Book Synopsis
After The Death of Robert Francis Kennedy is a short novel that follows the intellectual and emotional development of Thomas Malleus. The story is structured like a classic five paragraph essay; but its style is more that of free verse. Malleus, something of an outcast, is faced with the common challenges of all young men in that contentious decade, the 1960s. Set in San Francisco in the fall of 1968, he seeks to cast off the personal. religious, and social shibboleths that mark the American way of life.
