520 1 $a"Leone Ross weaves a tale of love and deception, violence and hate, honor and self-preservation. Weaving back and forth between New York City in the 1990s and North Carolina in the 1960s, Orange Laughter centers around Tony Pellar, a man of former style and fading beauty who now lives in the subway tunnels beneath New York.
520 8 $aTony is fighting madness at every turn, fleeing a terrifying, ghostly pursuer whom he calls the Soul Snatcher, and convinced his salvation lies in the recovery of buried childhood memories.".
520 8 $a"As Tony delves into his past, the stories of those people ineluctably entwined with his emerge: of Mikey, Tony's childhood friend, who has created his own equally tenuous escape into the guarded confines of academia: and of Agatha, a complex woman with a disfigured face, a painful past, and a future seemingly bereft of options.
520 8 $aAll three stories barrel toward each other against the eruptive backdrop of the civil rights movement to a heartrending climax that will, like childhood memories and dark secrets, linger in the minds of readers."--BOOK JACKET.
