title: Running Through the Tall Grass: A Novel
author: Talmy Givon
description: Here is an atmospheric first novel, said to be 30 years in the making, from an author described by the publisher as having been an "infantry officer, martial arts instructor, molecular biologist, actor, fur trapper, horse trainer, and more" and who is now a linguistics professor at the University of Oregon. It starts in the war-torn streets of Algeria in the early 1960s, when that country was considered part of metropolitan France. The protagonist, Robert Aron, and his girlfriend, Marie, try to escape Robert's terrorist past, but as he tries to return Marie to France, he finds himself the prey of his increasingly mad one-time comrade-in-arms, Jojo. Multiple narrators are nicely handled, and although this reads like an adventure novel, analogies to The Heart of Darkness are not inappropriate because of Givon's interesting take on violence/madness/essence. Recommended for most libraries.<br /><i>-?Robert E. Brown, Onondaga Cty. P.L., Syracuse, N.Y.</i><br />Copyright 1997 Reed Business Information, Inc.
