| Description: |
A kaleidoscopic chronicle of an age that juxtaposes patriotism with fading grandeur to create a literary mosaic which depicts an era of dire poverty, fabulous wealth and incredible change. |
| Synopsis: |
In America at the turn of the twentieth century, when society abounds with movers and shakers such as Houdini, J.P Morgan, Henry Ford and Emma Goldman, and the sultry rhythms of ragtime permeate the city, ex-chorus girl Evelyn Nesbitt inspires a mad millionaire to murder architect Stanford White. In this stunning kaleidoscopic chronicle of an age, Doctorow juxtaposes patriotism with fading grandeur, to create a dazzling literary mosaic that depicts an era of dire poverty, fabulous wealth and incredible change. |
