American Journal - Paperback

by Christine Montalbetti (Author), Jane Kuntz (Translator)

Beginning as a road novel reuniting Donovan and Tom Lee, old friends from their college days, Christine Montalbetti's novel quickly becomes a playfully unpredictable exploration of American culture. Reflecting on college football, small-town gossip, and the automobile, among other American institutions, the dreamlike quality of Montalbetti's narration creates fresh, often very funny new vantages on aspects of American life usually too familiar to be noticed.
