À propos de ce produit
Product Information
The long-awaited new novel by America's master playwright and activist-a radical reimagining of our history and our hopes and fears Forty years in the making, The American People embodies Larry Kramer's vision of his beloved and accursed homeland. As the founder of ACT UP and the author of Faggots and The Normal Heart , Kramer has decisively affected American lives and letters. Here, as only he can, he tells the heartbreaking and heroic story of one nation under a plague, contaminated by greed, hate, and disease yet host to transcendent acts of courage and kindness. In this magisterial novel's sweeping first volume, which runs up to the 1950s, we meet prehistoric monkeys who spread a peculiar virus, a Native American shaman whose sexual explorations mutate into occult visions, and early English settlers who live as loving same-sex couples only to fall victim to the forces of bigotry. George Washington and Alexander Hamilton revel in unexpected intimacies, and John Wilkes Booth's motives for assassinating Abraham Lincoln are thoroughly revised. In the twentieth century, the nightmare of history deepens as a religious sect conspires with eugenicists, McCarthyites, and Ivy Leaguers to exterminate homosexuals, and the AIDS virus begins to spread. Against all this, Kramer sets the tender story of a middle-class family outside Washington, D.C., trying to get along in the darkest of times. The American People is a work of ribald satire, prophetic anger, and dazzling imagination. It is an encyclopedic indictment written with outrageous love.

Reviews
Praise for Faggots "Larry Kramer is one of America's most valuable troublemakers. I hope he never lowers his voice." -Susan Sontag "True comic brilliance-a vicious Swiftian satire that, like all satire, contains a strong moral voice." - New York magazine Praise for The Normal Heart "One of the great moral dramas of our time." -Frances Fitzgerald "Here is theater that has managed to matter, the work of a deep-diving heart as hot as the sun." -Tony Kushner, Kramer is a singular force, furious because he cares. He honestly confronts hard, unspoken truths and goes somewhere with them, which is a rare thing., Larry Kramer has been a prophet of psychic health and catastrophe among us--a prophet unmatched for the accuracy of his omens and the reliability of his anathemas and remedies., "Breathtakingly well-written. And how could one not keep reading, no matter how endless, a book with a line such as 'You don't just drop a penis like Tibby's into the narrative and let it go'?" - Kirkus (starred review) "Kramer is a singular force, furious because he cares. He honestly confronts hard, unspoken truths and goes somewhere with them, which is a rare thing." -T Fleischmann, Publishers Weekly (boxed, signature review) Praise for Larry Kramer "Larry Kramer is one of America's most valuable troublemakers. I hope he never lowers his voice." -Susan Sontag "Larry Kramer has been a prophet of psychic health and catastrophe among us-a prophet unmatched for the accuracy of his omens and the reliability of his anathemas and remedies." -The American Academy of Arts and Letters, Praise for Larry Kramer "Larry Kramer is one of America's most valuable troublemakers.

And how could one not keep reading, no matter how endless, a book with a line such as 'You don't just drop a penis like Tibby's into the narrative and let it go'?, The American People is mesmerizing . . . Larry Kramer's writing is so accessible, so human, so personal, so caring, so heartfelt, so courageous and so resonant . . . It's a Swiftian journey through an America we never knew; a Voltairean satire of American life and ways; a literary offspring of Gore Vidal's Lincoln and Myra Brenckenridge; a pornographic American history through the eyes of a Henry Miller; a Robin Cook medical mystery. It's a Sinclairean expose of American industrial and corporate skulduggery, and otherwise breathtakingly testimonial to the art of muckraking. It's a treasure trove of historical findings, especially of the history of sex in America . . . And it's the grandest telling yet of Kramer's own story . . . The American People is likely to find its place among the notable works of the Western canon., Wildly inventive . . . [A] formidable and admirable literary experiment . . . It has many brilliant and harrowing passages; it is grotesque and macabre in ways that so many somewhat antiseptic works of conventional American fiction these days won't dare., " The American People is mesmerizing . . .
