America Adventure

In an America where the government is at the mercy of multinational corporations, where drug gangs terrorize entire cities, where only the wealthy receive police protection, and where the poor toil in cold and damp underground tunnels not for money, but for temporary relief from the draconian interest rate on their ever increasing debt...

And with the help of a media wizard, a genetic engineer, a renegade computer hacker, and a deeply troubled military genius, incites a revolution that propels him into the national spotlight.

Pubblicato nel 1846, è impressionante la somiglianza a quello che poi avvenne 104 anni dopo, anche se, ovviamente, con un finale diverso.

A questo autore dall'inconfondibile vena pessimista e cruda, dall'originale scrittura raffinata e apparentemente naturale, tratta dal linguaggio parlato, ma piena di intrusioni e slanci d'autore, appartiene una serie di romanzi dimenticati, a metà tra il romanzo criminale e il western. A questo filone, quasi sfociante nel dramma antirazzista, che allora furoreggiava in certo cinema e in certo teatro americano alla Tennessee Williams, appartiene "Rossa".
