For a generation now, the internationally award-winning author Boston Teran has been writing about America and the moral territory of its soul. Many of his novels are translated into foreign languages, and he has been named alongside great American writers, including Hemingway and Larry McMurtry, filmmakers John Ford and Sam Peckinpah,
In August 1965, a car bomb detonated outside a Bronx diner. As debris rained down, hundreds of snapshots fluttered through the smoke. One photo captured the truth of the moment: graffiti scrawled on a tenement wall-
America v America
Outcome Uncertain
That is the world of Burn Everything...Then Forget It. At its center: Viola Dash and Billy Castle - a girl born into privilege and a boy marked forever by the subway killing of his mother. Their love story becomes the pulse of a nation on the edge, in a year when idealism collided with the misguided pursuers of power and political control. Corruption was more than just social hearsay, it was a disease. Treachery hid behind polite façades, and duplicity arrived packaged as patriotism.
Viola and Billy each carry a secret inheritance: fathers whose shared, covert careers served the darkest ambitions of the nation. And now it is their children who stand in the way - Viola for what she knows, Billy for what he refuses to forget.
Burn Everything...Then Forget It seeks to reframe America's legacy of racism, covert violence, and social manipulation - and to give voice to a generation raised on hope, only to be warned by history itself: Beware of justice.
