  <about><![CDATA[CHARLES BOWDEN’s journalism appears regularly in Harper’s GQ, and other national publications. He is the author of several previous books of nonfiction, including Down by the River. 

In more than a dozen groundbreaking books and many articles, Charles Bowden has blazed a trail of fire from the deserts of the Southwest to the centers of power where abstract ideas of human nature hold sway — and to the roiling places that give such ideas the lie. He has claimed as his turf &quot;our soul history, the germinal material, vast and brooding, that is always left out of more orthodox (all of them) books about America&quot; (Jim Harrison, on Blood Orchid ). ]]></about>    <gender>male</gender>    <born_at>01/01/1945</born_at>
