About this audiobook
A legendary writer returns to his birthplace after decades away, documenting the jarring collision between his memories and the industrial sprawl of 1900s America. His sophisticated prose captures the restless energy and the loss of historical continuity in a burgeoning superpower. It remains a definitive, deeply personal critique of the American character.
