  5. Summary

    Ponyboy's parents attempted to carve out a life in the Oklahoma panhandle instead of Tulsa. This is a mistake; they wind up being swept up in the Dust Bowl, killed as bandits and their children are left in Darry's care.

    Eventually, after the death of his best friend Johnny Cade in the dusty Oklahoma landscape, Ponyboy finds out that Darrel Curtis Sr. is not his biological father. This forces him to make a choice, fleeing to Los Angeles to pursue a career not just as a pulp novelist, but as a screenwriter.

    This leads him to three things: his biological family by way of Atreus Pelopides, his father; his future mate, former Capone and Luciano associate, Dallas Winston; and eventually, making the movie Days of Glory, a movie made to help strengthen Soviet-US relations during WWII, as Allies.

    It's Days of Glory that winds up being the reason Ponyboy is eventually dragged to Congress to answer a pertinent question: Was he, or is he, a member of the Communist Party? And would he name names?
