Set against the backdrop of the Great Depression, this literary novel explores themes of American identity and love through the eyes of Henry Roth. It serves as an autobiographical conclusion to Roth's saga, following the acclaimed "Call It Sleep." The narrative unfolds in contrasting settings, from New York's skyscrapers to Los Angeles's motor courts, capturing the era's complexities. With influences from Nathanael West and John Steinbeck, it stands as a poignant reflection on the human experience and the enduring quest for connection.
