In the tradition of Jonathan Swift and Mark Twain, ‘America Fantastica’ delivers a biting, witty, and entertaining story about the causes and costs of outlandish fantasy, while also marking the triumphant return of an essential voice in American letters. And at the heart of the novel, amid a teeming cast of characters, readers will delight in the tug-of-war between two memorable and iconic human beings – the exuberant saviour-of-souls Angie Bing and the penitent but compulsive liar Boyd Halverson. Just as Tim O’Brien’s modern classic, ‘The Things They Carried’, so brilliantly reflected the unromantic truth of war, ‘America Fantastica’ puts a mirror to a nation and a time that has become dangerously unmoored from truth and greedy for delusion.
