Annotation | Replay of the fourteenth-century Jack Straw (one of the leaders of the 1381 peasant’s revolt) story in a dystopian modern America. It follows “one person’s personal development from a severely damaged product of capitalism, the nuclear family, patriarchy and religion, to being a relatively whole human being” (7).The novel concludes with the establishment of an anarchist eutopia community that is trying to get established (172-178).The last chapter is a projection into the future in which the anarchist communities survive as the world environment collapses (179-185). |
