Susan Sontag, In America
Winner of the National Book Award, "a kaleidoscopic portrait of America on the cusp of modernity . . . In 1876 a group of Poles led by Maryna Zalezowska, Poland's greatest actress, emigrate to the United States and travel to California to found a 'utopian' commune—they think of it as a new Brook Farm—outside the village of Anaheim. . . . Sontag's gripping narrative shows us an exotic, still largely empty, up-for-grabs southern California, with European newcomers lording it over native Californians and Native Americans. When the commune fails and most of the emigres return to Poland, Maryna stays, learns English, and—as Marina Zalenska—forges a new, even more triumphant career on the American stage. . ."
