This is a book about how it feels to be alive in America at century's end--the Edens and the wastelands, the psychic heft of it all, our ghosts, hopes, myths, and heroes. It's about who we are, who we think we are, and how we'll remember the way we were. "Allen writes with a staccato energy that makes his book almost compulsively readable."--Jackson Lears, Rutgers University.
