The Lucky
By H. Lee Barnes
The Lucky is a powerful novel about growing up in America's turbulent 1960s, moving from mob-dominated Las Vegas to Willy's beloved Montana ranch -- which hides secrets of its own -- to the battlefields of Vietnam. But the novel's greatest strength lies in its vivid and unforgettable characters -- casino workers and entertainers, cowboys, soldiers, petty criminals, spoiled rich kids, thrill-seekers, and the hopeless, helpless poor. And most of all, the colorful, enigmatic, and ultimately tragic figure of Willy Bobbins, a man who helped build Las Vegas but instead lost himself along the way.
