Two Fields that Face and Mirror Each OtherIn this innovative novel, urban and rural, male and female, spiritual and material, knowledge and ignorance, and the explosive violence of the extreme right and extreme left-wing of American politics face and mirror each other. As Two Fields reweaves certain ancient myths and customs, it inscribes the cultural landscape of recent history inside the minds of its characters. A kind of collective consciousness is born as characters speak each other's minds and discover the thoughts of other beings. Martin Nakel is a professor of literature at Chapman College in California. He is the author of several books of poetry and the novel The Library of Thomas Rivka, published by Sun & Moon Press.
