America Fantastica Tim O'brien

Agosto 2019. Alle 11.34 di un sabato mattina Boyd Halverson entra nella filiale della Community National Bank della sua città, in California. Estrae una pistola, si fa consegnare tutti i contanti e fugge, prendendo in ostaggio la cassiera, Angie Bing (che a dire la verità non oppone molta resistenza). Inizia così una storia "on the road" - a metà tra Quentin Tarantino e David Lynch - che spazia per il continente americano procedendo spedita per accumulazione. I protagonisti dell'avventura surreale, a tratti onirica, sono questi atipici Bonny&Clyde: un uomo di mezza età reticente e tormentato, bugiardo compulsivo, e una ragazza logorroica e pragmatica, religiosissima e spregiudicata.

Highlights how low-wage residents have struggled to live and work in a place usually thought of as affluent: suburbia.

From one of this country's most thoughtful and committed leaders, this optimistic, pragmatic guide–now revised and updated to reflect the current political climate–offers a timeless practice to inspire hope for our country's future.

Few poets follow their own arrow as devotedly as Tim Easton, whose songwriting career has woven in and out of folk music and rock ‘n’ roll (and Americana before it was really called that), of erstwhile bands and solo songwriting, of his birthplace of America and all the other places he’s called home. Whether surviving as a busker in Paris and Prague, living and working on both US coasts, touring relentlessly through remote Alaska or recording with some of the most famous sidemen in rock history, Easton has followed his inspiration to every point on the map.
