1. 1. Nuova York

   

   A kaleidoscopic, panoramic novel that follows a mosaic of characters—immigrants, laborers, artists, criminals and would-be tycoons—through the bustling, often brutal streets of early twentieth-century New York, tracing their ambitions, defeats and moral compromises; in fragmented vignettes, intercut biographies and newsy ephemera the book captures the city’s energy, anonymity and spectacle while critiquing materialism, social mobility, and the dehumanizing effects of capitalism and mass media.

2. 2. Il 42° Parallelo

   

   A panoramic, modernist portrait of early-20th-century America that follows the intersecting lives of ordinary and aspiring people—immigrants, laborers, performers and entrepreneurs—whose hopes collide with industrial capitalism, political upheaval and the First World War; told through fragmented episodes, newspaper headlines and experimental interior monologues, the novel traces the rise and disillusionment of the American Dream and the social forces that shape and betray its characters.
