MEET ME IN MANHATTAN revives the legend of Butch Cassidy, the Sundance Kid, and Miss Etta Place, as in the early years of the 20th Century they flee the fast-fading frontier with plans to relocate in Bolivia, pausing for two and a half weeks in New York. As an epic work of historical fiction, the novel expands their factual experiences with a sweeping pageant of the fascinating people living there at that significant juncture in time--moviemakers, suffragists, gangsters, lawmen, journalists, politicians, artists, entertainers, as well as many others--to create a mythic portrait of our nation even as timeworn traditions gradually gave way to a brave new world known as Modern Times.
