About This Book
A landmark American novel set in the Gilded Age of the early twentieth century, interweaving three fictional families—an upper-middle-class WASP family, a Harlem musician's family, and a Jewish immigrant family—with appearances by historical figures including Harry Houdini, Emma Goldman, J.P. Morgan, and Henry Ford. A dazzling meditation on race, class, and the dream of America.
