Publisher's Notes
First Line: "It's strange what you don't forget."
Industry Reviews
"This wonderful young writer has penetrated the definitive experience of her generation."
Nadine Gordimer
"A beautifully patterned novel that possesses the density of the highly ambitious work of art...The book will doubtless come to be seen as both a remarkable novelistic debut and an enduring literary achievement."
New York Times - Michiko Kakutani
"'Machine Dreams', in its wisdom and its compassionate, utterly unsentimental rendering of the American condition, will rank as one of the great books of this decade."
Robert Stone
"No number of books read or films seen can deaden one to the intimate act of art by which this wonderful young writer has penetrated the definitive experience of her generation."
Nadine Gordimer
