My kind of America - Jeremy Poolman

Why does Eddie Reno quit his job at the K-Mart and head north from the Florida Keys? Why does war photographer Matthew Princeton leave New Orleans for a journey through his past to America's wild frontier? And why, thirty years after her husband's death, is Libbie Custer stranded in the Atlantic in the company of a large Russian bear?

'A darkly rewarding novel … Jeremy Poolman makes it clear that America is a place that everyone, native or not, has dreamed up, a fantasy made from the fragments of the historical past and from past fictions' -Times Literary Supplement
