The Ghosts – Notes from a Field Study

THE GHOSTS – NOTES FROM A FIELD STUDY

Poems by Ken Lauter


Book Description


In The Ghosts an anonymous anthropologist somehow discovers the land of a tribe of ghosts. Living with them for a year or so, he learns their language, culture, history and institutions, their hopes, dreams, emotions, virtues, and flaws. His primary informant among the ghosts is a beautiful female spirit, and he promptly falls in love with her, thereby sacrificing scientific objectivity but gaining deeper insight into ghost psychology and society.
