About “Deadeye Dick”
A young man from a peculiar family background inadvertently shoots a pregnant woman while playing with a rifle, an event that irrevocably alters his life. Rudy Waltz, also known as Deadeye Dick, recounts his life as a middle-aged man living in exile in Haiti, where he grapples with the aftermath of his actions and the destruction of his hometown by a neutron bomb. At the book's conclusion, it appears that Rudy has at least begun to live with the consequences of his past.
