Intrigued by the idea of what happens to radically tattooed skinheads when they get older, Francine Prose created the character of neo-Nazi Vincent Nolan, age 32, who repents, goes to work for a foundation, and finds himself becoming famous as a do-gooder. Not only Vincent, but the people around him, are changed by his transformation. As she did in BLUE ANGEL, Francine Prose looks at some of the absurdities of contemporary life with a satiric eye--but also with a compassionate understanding of her characters' ambiguities and contradictions.
