📗 Libro en inglés SWEET LAND STORIES

These dazzling short works are crafted with all the weight and resonance of the novels for which E. L. Doctorow is famous. You will find yourself set down in a mysterious redbrick house in rural Illinois (''A House on the Plains''), working things out with a baby-kidnapping couple in California (''Baby Wilson''), living on a religious-cult commune in Kansas (''Walter John Harmon''), sharing the heartrending cross-country journey of a young woman navigating her way through three bad marriages (''Jolene: A Life''), and witnessing an FBI special agent at a personal crossroads while he investigates a grave breach of White House Security (''Child, Dead, in the Rose Garden''). Comprised in a variety of moods and voices, these remarkable portrayals of the American spiritual landscape show a modern master at the height of his powers.
