Modern Classics Americana

by Don DeLillo
Modern Classics Americana - Thryft
Modern Classics Americana - Thryft

Surreal journey through American identity and media.

If you're feeling disconnected from the American zeitgeist or disillusioned with the media's influence on our dreams and realities, "Americana" might resonate with you. Don DeLillo has a knack for weaving the personal with the societal, and in this book, he takes you on a road trip into the heart of American culture. It's an exploration for those who crave a deeper understanding of the nation's psyche.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

"David Bell embodies the American dream. He's twenty-eight, has survived office coups, scandals, and beaten lesser rivals, to become an extremely successful TV exec. The images that flicker across America's screens, the fantasies that enthrall viewers, they are of his making.But David's dream is turning sour, nightmarish. He wants reality, to touch, feel and record what is real. He takes a camera and journeys across America in a mad, roving quest to discover and capture some sense of his own and his country's past, present and future.Americana is Don DeLillo's brilliant first novel."
