About This Item
London: Michael Joseph, 1963. Another Country is America. The scene is New York - from Greenwich Village to Harlem - and all of the places, fashionable and sordid, that lie between. The city looms over the events of a crucial year in the lives of the eight major characters whose tale is told in this remarkable novel. Barriers of sex and color are torn away; the complexities of love and hate are mercilessly explored - between black and white, between man and woman, between man and man. "An almost unbearable, tumultuous, blood-pounding experience" (Washington Post).
Synopsis
Published in 1962, this is an emotionally intense novel of love, hatred, race and liberal America in the 1960s. Set in Greenwhich Village, Harlem and France, ANOTHER COUNTRY tells the story of the suicide of jazz-musician Rufus Scott and the friends who search for an understanding of his life and death, discovering uncomfortable truths about themselves along the way.
