Description

Elsewhere, Home, the latest work by Douglas Kennedy, is a fascinating dive into the American soul, with a central question: what does it mean to be American? Following a remark at a literary fair in France, Kennedy embarks on a personal quest to demystify this complex identity, offering an exciting and rich reflection.

Douglas Kennedy explores his childhood memories, hilarious anecdotes, and political reflections, moving from post-war New York to a small Texan town. This introspection oscillates between touching moments, deep reflections, and sharp humor, revealing the multiple facets of a divided but vibrant America. Beyond personal stories, he delves into American culture through jazz notes, unforgettable films, and literary quotes, making this work a true cultural panorama.

Douglas Kennedy, with his unique writing style, takes the reader on a gripping literary journey, punctuated by sharp observations and a critical yet tender look at his homeland. The contradictions of modern America are depicted with intensity, creating a book that is both enlightening, funny, and moving. An invitation to better understand the American paradoxes, and to discover the nuances of this vast country alongside one of its most emblematic writers.
