The Red Squad

A wonderfully comic novel about the interwoven lives of a group of 1960s grad students who forty years later learn that they were under FBI surveillance during their activist days. Theres Anka who enraged the right-thinking newspaper with her outspoken politics; Kevin a priest in the process of formally leaving the church; The Farmer an unhappy father and husband; Noble the gay poet; Ron the black professor of Victorian studies; and the irrepressible Bernstein who yearned to start again in the promised land of Israel. One became a spy one became a fugitive. And when their long lost comrade resurfaces his plight reunites them in a glorious unexpected finale that collides past and present.
