摘要

In her first long work of narrative nonfic-tion, Heinlein follows three men who, after spending decades behind bars, reenter the world like modern-day Rip Van Winkles. In this first-person narrative, she follows Angel, Adam, and Bruce as they fumble to relearn mundane tasks as well as to face emotional issues that they did not have to confront while incarcerated. Heinlein is quite successful in this portion of the book. She shows the bizarre and frightening aspects of the men's new lives, but when she deals with the men themselves, she tends to falter. All three are convicted murderers.
