Synopsis
Susan Sontag's new novel is a brilliant and profound investigation into the fate of thought and culture in America. Like her last novel, THE VOLCANO LOVER, IN AMERICA masquerades as historical fiction, flaunting the stuff of drama and romance. It is something restless, hybrid, disturbing, original....Sontag gives us a convincing portrait of an artist who is losing her way, and it would be a pity if all the structural brilliance that surrounds her were to distract readers from her imperious, self-dramatizing and fallible character.
