Synopsis:
This is the chronicle of an American family moving inexorably towards dissolution. A succession of voices, Jean, Mitch, Danner and Billy, moves a narrative from the 1950s, 1960s and 1970s towards the national cataclysm of Vietnam.
Review:
"An intensely American, beautifully written first novel....It carries the strength of myth, and yet is utterly of our times". -- The Wall Street Journal
"A beautifully patterned novel . . . an enduring literary achievement . . . astonishing."--The New York Times"Machine Dreams, in its wisdom and its compassionate, utterly unsentimental rendering of the American condition, will rank as one of the great books of [the] decade. Jayne Anne Phillips is a blessing."--Robert Stone"An intensely Ameican, beautifully written first novel. . . . It carries the strength of myth, and yet is utterly of our times."--The Wall Street Journal
