Buffalo Afternoon

A Novel

"Remarkable....The entire Vietnam experience [in] one epic narrative."—New York Times Book Review

Buffalo Afternoon is the story of three generations of the Bravado family—Italian American, working-class, determined, proud, troubled. At the heart of this enthralling novel is Pete, a Vietnam vet whose fate is shaped by his grandfather's beliefs about America and reshaped by a cataclysm of American history. Reading group guide included.
