Krátky popis
'An absorbing novel about a young man's voyage into adulthood,
enlivened by Mary McCarthy's needling wit' Hilary Mantel, Booker
prize-winning author of Wolf Hall and Bring Up the Bodies'Fiercely
intelligent, insatiably combative, McCarthy's novels invite
controversy' Penelope Lively, from the introduction Peter Levi, a
shy and sensitive American teenager, moves to Paris to avoid being
drafted into the Vietnam War, where he is determined to live a life
in harmony with his own idealistic views. But the world is changing
at breakneck pace, with nuclear war looming abroad and racial
tensions simmering at home. Before long, Peter's naive illusions
are shattered, as he finds himself an unwilling participant in an
era of extraordinary change. Birds of America is an unforgettable
and deeply moving story of personal and political turmoil, of the
strange and surprising nature of growing up, and of the questions
we face when we examine who we really are. 'A writer known for her
wit, her glamour, and the shocking candour of her fiction' New
Yorker
