Laura Fedora (The Mercury Trilogy) (Volume 2) Robert Brancatelli

LAURA FEDORA is a flashback to the summer of 1976 in Philadelphia where Richard Mercurius, the main character of the Mercury Trilogy, grew up. Through Richard's journal, the reader meets Laura Fedora, an Italian girl working with Richard on the school newspaper. The themes established earlier in THE GRINGO--betrayal, obsessive love, eccentric families, outlandish characters, a satirical view of life, and an amazing foot fetish on Richard's part--begin here with Laura, "that redheaded girl with a hat for a name!"
