In American Silence, a complement to his previous study Trickster in the Land of Dreams, Zeese Papanikolas investigates a number of significant American cultural artifacts and the lives of their makers. For Papanikolas, both the private failures and public successes of Clarence King, Henry Adams, Gertrude Stein, Ernest Hemingway, Raymond Chandler, and Hank Williams resonate with silences.

Zeese Papanikolas lives and works in Oakland, California. He is the author of Buried Unsung: Louis Tikas and the Ludlow Massacre , and Trickster in the Land of Dreams (both available in Bison Books editions), and, with Frank Bergon Looking Far West: The Search for the American West in History, Myth, and Literature.
