The Chair: Volume V: Mintaka, Alnilam, & Alnitak

The stories of 23 generations of American women whose first names begin with L continue the final installment of The Chair Pentalogy. They include a Revolutionary War cannoneer, a sidewalk clown, a bottled-water magnate, a frontier woman, a choreographer, a Union army uniform designer, a lover of umbrellas, a wealthy horseracing gambler, and an immortal time-traveler. The Armistice is signed, a French sub goes lost in the South Pacific, a gun battle erupts on the Mexican border, Scottish explorers brave a Canadian blizzard, and Christmas breaks out at a Beverly Hills shindig. Robert McKenzie’s unique stream-of-consciousness tour de force captivates with the tales of these remarkable women who have one simple chair passing through all their lives. The Chair: Volume V completes this epic tale, the kind found in an old trunk between the real and imagined.
