| In an alternate version of 1893 America, New York is part of the Free States, where people can live and love as they please (or so it seems). The fragile young scion of a distinguished family resists engagement to a worthy suitor, drawn to a charming music teacher of no means. In a 1993 Manhattan besieged by the AIDS epidemic, a young Hawaiian man lives with his much older, wealthier partner, hiding his troubled childhood and the fate of his father. And in 2093, in a world ravaged by plagues and under totalitarian rule, the damaged granddaughter of a powerful scientist tries to cope with life without him – and solve the mystery of her husband’s disappearance.
These three sections are woven into a gripping and ingenious symphony, with recurring notes and themes deepening and enriching each other: A townhouse in Greenwich Village’s Washington Square Park; illness and treatments that come at a terrible cost; wealth and misery; the weak and the strong; race; the definition of family and nation; the dangerous righteousness of the powerful and of revolutionaries; the longing for a place in an earthly paradise and the gradual realisation that it can’t exist. What unites not only the characters, but these Americas, is their reckoning with the qualities that make us human: Fear. Love. Shame. Need. Loneliness. |
