The Brooklyn Follies

Set against the backdrop of the contested US election of 2000, this book tells the story of Nathan and Tom, an uncle and nephew double-act. One in remission from lung cancer, divorced, and estranged from his only daughter, the other hiding away from his once-promising academic career, and, indeed, from life in general.

Avand ca fundal alegerile americane contestate din 2000, aceasta carte spune povestea lui Nathan si Tom, un unchi si un nepot care se joaca in paralel. Unul in remisie dupa cancerul pulmonar, divortat si instrainat de singura sa fiica, iar celalalt se ascunde de cariera sa academica, candva promitatoare, si, intr-adevar, de viata in general.
