Shankus & Kitto: A Saga

Shankus & Kitto: A Saga is a complex chronicling of two interwoven families, who live - sometimes thriving, sometimes surviving - in the blight and fright of American cityscape. Each chapter finds a member of one of these alternately eccentric and endearing families narrating overlapping events, comically proving that eyewitness testimony can sometimes be another kind of blindness. Stories within stories abound. Crawford masterfully reveals how and where we go awry, the fumbling ways we interpret each other's words and deeds, slights and sleights.
