Mattie McClane Libros

Wen Wilson is the story of a poet who is caught up in America's political transition from a democratic republic to an autocratic regime. While seeking sanctuary on a midwestern farm, Wen meets Ruth Uppers, a strong feminist widow who has assumed leadership of an extensive cattle operation and slowly comes to welcome the targeted politico as almost a member of her family. She gradually comes to support his publishing effort to reveal the completeness of the the totalitarian takeover. In Wen Wilson: A Bookish Man, McClane explores class and literacy issues. She also looks at the divide between rural and urban members of society. She then shows how violence ensues.
