Theme: Solitude Standing
“The outsiders this time include an Anasazi prince, an innocent witness to diabolical rites, a woman with an enchanted butterfly, a maladjusted son, a dying Vietnam veteran and his magician friend, a lump of goo, a boy caught in a cultural dilemma, a psychic voyeur, an ill-starred fugitive, and an unearthly union of Earthlings.”
