A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur :

In Jonathan Lethem's wryly funny novel, we meet a young man named Chaos, who's living in a movie theater in post-apocalyptic Wyoming, drinking alcohol, and eating food out of cans. It's an unusual and at times unbearable existence, but Chaos soon discovers that his post-nuclear reality may have no connection to the truth. So he takes to the road with a girl named Melinda in order to find answers. As the pair travels through the United States they find that, while each town has been affected differently by the mysterious source of the apocalypse, none of the people they meet can fill in their incomplete memories or answer their questions. Gradually, figures from Chaos's past, including some who appear only under the influence of intravenously administered drugs, make Chaos remember some of his forgotten life as a man named Moon.

Présentation de l'éditeur :

Dopo la guerra e i bombardamenti, Hatfork, nel Wyoming, è devastata dalla fame e popolata di mutanti; Caos vive nella cabina di proiezione del multisala abbandonato, cercando di dimenticare il presente e incapace di ricordare il passato, ossessionato dalla sua capacità di influenzare la realtà con i sogni. Quando il tiranno locale, Kellogg, gli rivela che le bombe non sono mai cadute, Caos si imbarca in un rocambolesco viaggio, in compagnia di Melinda, alla scoperta della verità; la troverà in molte diverse versioni, fra deserti, nebbie e misteriose fialette da iniettare in vena.
