“I vaguely remember some of the landscapes of Cormac McCarthy’s first novels. The moist atmosphere of some plays written by Tennessee Williams in the region. But once I arrived in Chattanooga, I discovered a totally different country. A life separate from the one I had briefly glimpsed while covering stories for French newspapers in major U.S. cities. Something very different from what Europeans, sometimes stuck in their stereotypes, could perceive from the other side of the Atlantic.” – Pierre Bessard
A meditation on the American Dream by Pierre Bessard in this ambitious and impressive production. Beautifully presented hardback with multiple gatefold pages housed in a clamshell box.
